Our Bridge Programs for Childhood Educators

Bridge Program Ausbildung
Prepare for a Remunerated Apprenticeship
Our Bridge Program: Ausbildung is for fresh graduates of any course who wish to become an educator through a remunerated apprenticeship or Ausbildung in an early education or youth facility in Germany. The Ausbildung, which usually takes 3 years, combines theoretical education at a technical college – Fachschule or Berufskolleg – with practical work experience in early education facilities (Kitas) or youth welfare institutions.
While you are still in your home country, our Bridge Program: Ausbildung helps you acquire the required German proficiency (B2) for an apprenticeship while guiding you in completing your application dossier for technical colleges, early education and youth facilities and — for those from outside Europe — the visa application.

Bridge Program Anerkennung
Prepare for Professional Recognition
Our Bridge Program: Anerkennung allows experienced teaching professionals from outside Germany who have a completed degree in education and the readiness to acquire professional German proficiency become certified childhood educators in Germany through professional recognition or Anerkennung.
Our Bridge Program: Anerkennung comprises 4 German courses (A1, A2, B1 and B2) and 3 Job Training courses that help participants strengthen their credentials and prepare for job interviews and presentations in German. Participants have two paces to choose from: (1) the Intensive Track with fixed live group sessions, completed in 14 months, (2) the Flexi Track with live sessions booked as needed and completed in up to 30 months.
