What this check looks at
Ausbildung is vocational training in Germany: you learn a profession in a company and a vocational school, or at a vocational school alone. In company-based training the company pays you a monthly training salary, at least €724 in the first year (2026). This check looks at the three things a counsellor asks first: your age, your school certificate and your German.
For company-based training, German law asks for no specific school certificate. Each company sets its own rule, and many ask for an intermediate certificate. For the visa, a training salary of at least €1,048 gross or €822 net a month (2026) counts as proof that you can pay your living costs.
School-based training needs finished general schooling, officially recognised, and the certificate depends on the profession. It has no fixed salary, except in healthcare, and private schools often charge fees. For the visa you show at least €959 net a month (2026), for example with a blocked account.
Training itself has no age limit. Age matters for some visas: the visa to look for a training place is for people under 35. For German, B1 is the usual level; the German missions in India ask for at least A2, and B1 for medical professions.
This check reads your three answers against Xpolariz's counselling guide and tells you which step to plan next. It is not a visa decision.
At a glance
- Training has no age limit
- Company-based: no set certificate in law
- German: usually B1, at least A2 for the visa in India
- Result in seconds, no sign-up
How the result is worked out
- Likely when you are 18 to 35, have finished 12th and have B1 German or higher.
- Possible when you have finished 12th and one step is still to plan: German below B1, or an age of 36 or older, where a counsellor checks which visa route fits.
- Not yet when you are 17 or younger, or have not finished 12th yet.

Is this a visa decision?
No. It is our counselling guide, not a visa decision. The German mission decides your visa, and each training company decides whom it takes.
Why does the check ask my age if there is no age limit?
Training itself has no age limit. Age matters for some visas, such as the visa to look for a training place, which is for people under 35. Our counsellors mostly guide people aged 18 to 35, so the check marks other ages as a step to plan, not a no.
What German level do I need for Ausbildung?
Usually B1. The German missions in India ask for at least A2 for a training visa, and B1 for medical professions such as nursing. Starting German early is the step that takes the longest.
I have not finished 12th. Can I still apply?
For company-based training, German law asks for no specific certificate, but each company sets its own rule. School-based training needs finished general schooling, officially recognised. The German missions in India ask for your 10th and 12th mark sheets either way. Talk to a counsellor about your marks.
