German

Learning to communicate
German is more than grammar.
Knowing the rules is essential. Using them in a real conversation matters just as much. At Karriere Fähre, Sprechen takes centre stage: speaking, understanding, responding spontaneously and expressing yourself with greater confidence.
Sprechen
Build spoken expression and learn to communicate in concrete situations.
Wortschatz
Enrich your vocabulary and consolidate the structures needed to express yourself more precisely.
Fachsprache
Develop the vocabulary specific to your future profession and learn to use the right professional expressions.
Kommunikation im Beruf
Practise understanding instructions, asking questions, explaining a situation and communicating with colleagues.
The professional activities and exercises are adapted to each candidate's path and goals.
Your professional project
The level of German depends on your project.
German plays an important role in training, recruitment and integration in Germany. The level required, however, varies with the profession, the employer and the residence pathway considered.
A level suited to the role
There is no single legal B2 level for all skilled jobs. Requirements depend on the profession, the employer and, for certain regulated professions, the conditions of practice and recognition.
Understand the conditionsGerman to train
For the vocational-training visa, B1 is generally required when the institution has not already assessed language skills and no preparatory course is planned. Some employers or sectors may require a higher level.
Discover the AusbildungGerman as an asset
Language conditions depend on the Chancenkarte access route. For the points-based route, A1 in German or B2 in English is required, among other criteria, with at least six points. Another route exists for certain holders of recognised qualifications.
Understand the ChancenkarteThis information is general. The applicable requirements must be checked for each project.
Beyond the language course
Preparing for professional exchanges in Germany.
Mastering German is an important step. You also need to present your background, explain your motivation and communicate in a professional context. Depending on the candidate's path and project, preparation may include the following elements.
Vorstellungsgespräch
Interview preparation: self-presentation, background, motivation and answers to the employer's questions.
Coaching
Targeted support to identify difficulties and improve expression, clarity of answers and spoken confidence.
Simulation
Role-plays and mock interviews to practise in conditions close to reality.
Integration
Preparation for professional codes, workplace communication and the realities of daily life in Germany.
