Why does Germany attract vocational students from Vietnam?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

World-leading vocational training quality<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Federal Republic of Germany is famous for its dual training<\/a> system (Ausbildung), combining theory at school and practice at enterprises, bringing high practical skills and clear application value. This is one of the high-standard vocational education systems recognized worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tuition incentives and open immigration policies<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Vocational study in Germany is almost 100% tuition-free, and students are also paid an internship salary of 950 \u2013 1300 Euro\/month, helping to cover living expenses without depending on their families. After graduation, students continue to work for about 24 months to have the opportunity to apply for a green card, or even permanent residency in Germany under current open policies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What do the costs of vocational study in Germany include?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Document costs, language learning, and German language certificates<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Before going to Germany, students need to complete language skills from A1 to B1 or B2. Depending on the center, the cost of language classes ranges from 25 \u2013 40 million VND\/course. In addition, certificate exam fees, Visa applications, and document translation are also on the list of costs to prepare, ranging from 15 \u2013 20 million VND.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reasons to choose vocational study in Germany<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Despite many attractive points, there are still risks of vocational study in Germany that need to be seriously assessed.
