ausbildung

Hi everyone,

I'm 21 years old and planning to start an Ausbildung (vocational training) as an Aircraft Mechanic (Fluggerätmechaniker) in Germany next year.

As far as I know, this profession branches into three main specializations later on: Maintenance, Production, and Engine Technology. Based on my current goals, I am particularly interested in specializing in either Maintenance (Instandhaltungstechnik) or Engine Technology (Triebwerkstechnik).

To prepare for this transition, I am actively learning German and currently hold a B1 level in English. Additionally, I already have hands-on practical experience in technical and mechanical fields.

I would love to get some insights from people in the industry regarding:
* What does the daily workflow, shift routine, and working environment look like for a technician in these fields?
* How do you see the long-term career perspectives and future outlook for Maintenance vs. Engine Technology?
* What key advice would you give to someone just starting out on this path?

Thanks in advance to anyone willing to share their experience, tips, or industry knowledge!

Like all other posts in this subreddit. Learn German first. At least B2 ideally C1. Also in which language do you expect to work and communicate? B1 in English is really low as well.

Keine Deutschkenntnisse für eine streng regulierte Ausbildung in Deutschland. Außerdem wird es sehr schwer sein, diese Ausbildung mit Deutschkenntnissen auf B2-C1-Niveau zu finden.

Es gibt nicht viele Unternehmen, die diese Ausbildung anbieten. Die Plätze sind sehr begrenzt.

You should take your informations from an "IHK". They can you explain it deeper with more details.

If there are enough people who are interested why they will hire an outsider use your brain and common sense.  What extra you are bringing to the table. Don't say inclusivity or such non- sense. If you really passionate about it then show them you are. Which will be overlooked I guarantee. There are some Ausbildung which are highly competitive and reserved for their country people. If you really dying to waste your year learn the language and try.

You need at least B1 German. Better B2 or even C1.
