Requirements for admission to the professional examination in adult education:
Persons are admitted to the final examination (federal professional examination) as trainers if they have:
- has a federal certificate of proficiency, a baccalaureate (specialized baccalaureate or baccalaureate from a grammar school) or an equivalent qualification,
- at least 4 years of part-time practice with a total of at least 300 practical hours in the education sector
- and has the required valid module certificates, including proof of at least 16 hours of group supervision in relation to the training practice.
Some schools also require a personal aptitude, a professional aptitude, a federal course certificate for vocational trainers (Art. 44 BBV), knowledge of German at level B2, enjoyment of digital forms of teaching and learning or the willingness to lead the learning process in self-study and to engage in a personal process.
Candidates will be informed in writing no later than 15 working days after the QSK meeting whether they meet the requirements for the professional examination for trainers - in the event of rejection, including reasons and information on legal remedies. After admission, the candidate must submit the qualification dossier within 12 months. After this period has expired, the candidate must re-register for the central review.
Note: In some cases, it is also possible to start training as a trainer without professional experience or with only 75 hours - enquire in detail at the selected training institute. However, initial experience in accompanying adults (learners/students/employees) will clearly benefit your learning success. It is therefore strongly recommended that you carry out your own practical or learning support at the latest parallel to attending the training course.
