🇩🇪 Ausbildung in Germany Is Real — Even If You Fail Once, You Can Try Again!

Many people still think the German Ausbildung (Apprenticeship) opportunities are “too good to be true.”
But here’s real proof — one of our readers received an official invitation from the City of Cologne for an online recruitment test for a training position as an IT specialist (application development or system integration) (m/f/d)..

They were invited through the Geva Institute, one of Germany’s official testing platforms used by companies and city governments.

Unfortunately, they failed the aptitude test and later received a rejection email.
But what’s important is that the City of Cologne still encouraged them to apply again next year!

Proof Of The Email

This shows that the Ausbildung process is 100% real, transparent, and open to everyone — no middleman, no agent, and no fake promises.
