Apprenticeship

 

An apprenticeship of an administrative employee

Administrative employee - an interesting and sometimes funny job !

The job of an administrative employee is an occupation in the civil services. As an administrative employee you can work in different parts of the civil services, for example, in the local governments but also up to the level of the general internal federal administration. It is also possible to work in other administrations: the administration of the Protestant Church or the administration of the Federal Ministry of Transport

How long does this apprenticeship last ?

The apprenticeship as an administrative employee lasts three years. In some cases it is possible
to shorten the training by up to half a year.

Our apprenticeship is divided into different parts and training courses.

PRACTICAL TRAINING:
The practical training includes work in different departments, e. g. department of social security,passport office, etc.

BBS:
At school we get the basic knowledge we need for our apprenticeship. We also learn a lot of important things about the private enterprise.

TRAINING COURSE:
Twice we attend a training course, e. g. in Hanover or Sulingen ( a small town in the North of Germany). Through these we can widen the knowledge we got at the BBS: At the end of the first training course we have to write an intermediate examination, which comprises the education of the whole first year of training.The second training course is at the end of the third year and it ends with  the final examination.
