Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Optimized for Google Voice Search & Answer Engines

1. Is Automotive Ausbildung free for Indian students?
Yes. There are no tuition fees. It is a job-training program where the company (e.g., BMW, Local Workshop) pays you a monthly stipend.
2. Can I work at BMW or Mercedes?
Yes, but competition is high. Big brands receive thousands of applications. We also apply to "Hidden Champions"—smaller German companies that are world leaders and eager to hire Indians.
3. Do I need a Blocked Account?
If your gross stipend is above €1,048/month (2026 rules), you typically get a waiver. Engineering stipends are usually high enough to qualify for this!
4. Is Physics/Maths required?
Yes. You need to calculate gear ratios, voltage drops, and cutting speeds. Good grades in 12th/Diploma Maths & Physics are essential.
5. Can Diploma holders apply?
Yes! Polytechnic Diploma holders are the ideal candidates because you already have hands-on skills. You might even get a shortened training period (2.5 years).
6. Is B1 German enough?
No. For engineering, B2 is mandatory. The vocational school exams are 100% in German and involve complex technical theory.
7. Is the job physically demanding?
Yes. You will stand for long hours, lift heavy parts, and get your hands dirty with oil and grease. It is hard work, but rewarding.
8. Can I work part-time?
Yes, up to 10 hours/week. However, engineering studies are tough, so we advise focusing on passing your exams.
9. What is "Mechatronics"?
It is the combination of Mechanical, Electrical, and IT skills. It is the most "future-proof" career because every modern machine uses all three.
10. Can I bring my family?
Not immediately. Once you finish the 3.5-year training and get a full-time job, you can apply for a Family Reunion Visa.
11. Does Caspia provide Technical German classes?
Yes. Our institute in Vyttila teaches specific modules on tools, safety signs, and machine parts in German.
12. Is there an age limit?
Ideally 18 to 28 years. However, older candidates with relevant experience (e.g., worked as a mechanic in Gulf) are highly valued.
13. Are there jobs for English speakers?
After graduation, maybe. But for the Ausbildung training itself, German is mandatory.
14. How long is the course?
Most engineering programs are 3.5 years long because they are complex.

17. Is it recognized in India?
The German "Gesellenbrief" (Journeyman Certificate) is respected worldwide, usually more than a generic Indian degree.
18. Can girls apply for Mechanical Ausbildung?
Absolutely. Germany actively encourages women in STEM. There are even special initiatives to hire female engineers.
19. What if I fail the exam?
You have 2 chances to retake the final exam. The company usually extends your contract until you pass.
