We offer bespoke training based on company’s requirements and the green technician’s existing skill set. For technicians this may include professional fluency and communication training in German as part of our Bridging Program, intercultural communication training and, going forward, cross-sectional awareness training to develop sustainable management skills in the form of Insight Seminars. Working with local training providers, we can develop upskilling programs for partner companies who need their staff to meet specific safety requirements prior to starting. This can include EuP, Efft, GWO and further industry-specific safety and training qualifications.

The Bridging Program is German professional fluency training offered in intensive Learning Blocks of 75 x 45 minute teaching units. Each Learning Block takes the candidate to the next CEF sublevel (for example A1.0 to A1.1, then A1.1 to A1.2). Six Learning Blocks are required to advance from no understanding to professional fluency (B1.2) or a total of 450 teaching units.

Technicians with mechanical, electrical or automisation backgrounds interested in working in green energy fields such as offshore and onshore wind, solar, hydrogen and geothermal. It can also include energy managers and specialists working at the nexus of food, energy and water.

Bridging Program: Applicants with less than a B1.2 level of German may opt for professional proficiency language training as a paid upskilling service with greentech.training as part of pre-interview preparation. This service is only offered to invited green technicians who can later be placed with our partner firms.

Post-partner-interview: Partner companies may cover qualification expenses via pay-it-forward models where the candidate is (in most cases) required to reimburse training or recognition costs as part of their salary. If applicable and possible, Bildungsgutschein may also be used for training purposes with third parties what are certified to accept them from the German Employment Agency.

Germany is currently restructuring its immigration laws for skilled labour. The details of the points-based program are yet to be confirmed but suggest that German and English language skills will be assessed in the rating, as will years of experience, qualifications and other non-skill factors. Please contact us should you have any queries in this regard.
