Further education

What

There are many options in Germany that allow you to continue to train after leaving school, vocational training or university. You can attend adult education courses to obtain general or school-leaving qualifications. There are day-time and evening courses, and you can even do your lessons from home (for example as part of a distance-learning course with a college or university).

How

a) The Federal Employment Agency is an important port of call when it comes to your professional further education. You can also find further education and training institutions in the telephone book and in the Yellow Pages. Possible options include:
(1) further education courses,
(2) language courses,
(3) work placements
(4) special integration courses for young adults. https://www3.arbeitsagentur.de/web/content/EN/index.htm (English) or contact the your local Employment Office

b) The Adult Education Centres (Volkshochschulen) offer a broad range of courses all over Germany, from courses in languages and computer skills to programmes on health-related issues. https://www.mvhs.de/programm/beruf-karriere (German).
