Ich möchte mich in Richtung KV umschulen lassen, welche Möglichkeiten habe ich da?
I would like to retrain in the direction of KV, what options do I have?
If you are interested in an apprenticeship for adults in which you do not have to work in a training company and regularly attend school, you have two options to choose from, provided that you have already gained at least five years of work experience in your chosen field, in your case in the commercial sector. Depending on your previous education, you can either take a final apprenticeship examination to obtain your qualification and possibly attend some special commercial courses to prepare for the examination (which is advisable), or apply for an Federal VET Diploma or Federal VET Certificate via a validation procedure, i.e. recognition of your qualifications and skills without a final examination. In the latter case, your existing qualifications required for the profession will be recognized, and you only need to attend appropriate courses at vocational colleges in the areas where you have gaps in your knowledge in order to obtain the qualification.
However, retraining in the commercial sector does not necessarily have to take the form of an apprenticeship. You can also attend targeted courses that train you for very specific jobs, such as management secretary with an internal school certificate, export clerk, purchasing and procurement clerk or foreign trade clerk, accounting assistant or accounting clerk, or HR assistant or HR clerk. There are so many options in the commercial sector that you are sure to find the right training course for you.
