The Apprenticeship Agreement (Berufsausbildungsvertrag) is a fundamental document in Germany's renowned dual education system, required whenever an employer provides structured vocational training to an apprentice. This agreement must comply with the German Vocational Training Act (Berufsbildungsgesetz - BBiG) and related regulations, making it a highly standardized document with specific content requirements. It is used to establish the framework for apprenticeship training, including duration (typically 2-3.5 years), qualification objectives, remuneration, and mutual obligations. The agreement must be registered with the relevant chamber (IHK or HwK) and serves as the legal basis for the training relationship. It includes provisions for both practical training at the workplace and theoretical education at vocational schools, reflecting the dual nature of Germany's vocational training system.
