With a Bachelor's degree in "Vocational Education", you can already teach in extracurricular vocational training institutions or take on training activities in companies. A Master of Education is a prerequisite for teaching at vocational schools - the preparatory service concludes with the second state examination. Incidentally, teachers at vocational schools have the same status as teachers at grammar schools.
As part of the dual training program, you will work closely with companies in the business world. As part of the teaching team, you plan the didactics of the training courses. Good communication skills are crucial for both activities and, of course, for successful teaching.
One of the central tasks of vocational teachers is to provide individual advice and support to groups of students who are heterogeneous in terms of age, educational qualifications, previous professional experience, performance, etc.
