It is strictly regulated and usually lasts three years, although those who have their Abitur are often allowed to reduce this by one year. The trainees, so-called Auszubildende or Azubis for short, work in a company and become familiar with all the different areas of their future profession. They also have classes at a vocational college for two days a week, or in blocks of seminars. At the end of the training period they take their Gesellenprüfung.

This type of apprenticeship is still the normal way to learn a trade or train for a practical career in Germany. A Hauptschulabschluss is the minimum requirement, although many young people with a Realschulabschluss or Abitur opt to train in this way. A Lehre takes about 2 to 3 years and involves practial training by a Meister backed up by lessons at a Berufsschule, with an exam at the end* * *Lehre1 f; -, -ndas war mir eine Lehre that was a lesson (for me);lass dir das eine Lehre sein let that be a lesson to you;eine Lehre ziehen aus draw a lesson from, take a warning from; weitS. learn from;wir müssen aus dieser Panne unsere Lehren ziehen we must learn (the lessons) from this failure2.

This type of apprenticeship is still the normal way to learn a trade or train for a practical career in Germany. A Hauptschulabschluss is the minimum requirement, although many young people with a Realschulabschluss or Abitur opt to train in this way. A Lehre takes about 2 to 3 years and involves practial training by a Meister backed up by lessons at a Berufsschule, with an exam at the end* * *-n f.apprenticeship n.doctrine n.egalitarianism n.teachings n.tenet n. -
