How long do Ausbildung applications take, and what's the process like?
Applying for an Ausbildung (vocational training) is pretty similar to a regular job application process. The waiting time can vary quite a bit depending on the institution and the specific program you're applying to. Generally, you'll need a B2 level of German proficiency and you'll likely have an in-person interview. If you're successful, you'll sign a contract, which then allows you to apply for your residence permit.
