Become a vocational school teacher

State-regulated path

Teaching at public schools requires a teacher-education degree for one of the school types defined by the KMK (Master of Education or state examination) followed by the state's preparatory service (Referendariat).

OWWZ guidance

Vocational teacher education combines a vocational field such as metal or electrical engineering with vocational pedagogy and didactics.
How is this ordered?

First, programmes whose university states the requirement is met (full qualification before a first stage). Then, first, programmes with one of this goal’s subjects (Vocational and business education, Business education) as main subject whose official name mentions a core topic of the goal – more important core topics first, teacher training last. Then the other programmes with one of these main subjects, the subjects taking turns. Then programmes that have one of these subjects only as a minor, finally programmes of other subjects with a fitting curriculum, by share of the programme. In every step universities take turns in a fixed order that stays the same for each goal and does not follow the alphabet; among the first ten places a university has at most two where others exist. An evaluated curriculum is shown but does not change the order. Not a quality ranking.

Teacher-training programme (first phase of teacher education) – then the teacher traineeship (Referendariat)

By the programme’s degree and subject (official data), not ordered by curriculum.
