Description
Teachers with the qualification to teach at vocational schools
Vocational schools comprise 7 different types of school. This means that you have 7 different employment opportunities with different target groups. In addition to the vocational school as the main focus of the vocational school system, you can also work at a business school (intermediate school leaving certificate), vocational college, technical college, technical academy (vocational qualifications), technical secondary school and vocational secondary school (entrance qualification for universities of applied sciences, subject-specific/general higher education entrance qualification).
Teachers qualified to teach at vocational schools prepare young people for working life or university studies.
The two-phase teacher training is also geared towards this. You can acquire the qualification to teach at vocational schools in the following ways:
- By studying vocational education in the relevant vocational subject area (e.g. electrical engineering) or a degree in business education,
- and, building on this, by completing a two-year preparatory service (traineeship) for the teaching profession at vocational schools and then successfully passing the second state examination.
Specialist teachers at vocational schools
Specialist teachers provide specialist teaching at vocational schools (e.g. vocational schools, vocational schools for special educational needs, vocational schools, technical schools and technical academies) and prepare young people for working life. They make an important contribution to the schools thanks to their professional experience and one-year pedagogical and educational training.
At vocational schools, specialist teachers teach
- for industrial-technical professions as well as for nutrition and supply
- for socio-educational and social care professions
- for health professions
- for nursing professions and
- for vocational preparation.

Teacher training; information
Teacher training in Bavaria is based on the type of school. Permanent employment at one type of school generally requires a teaching qualification for the respective type of school. This distinguishes Bavaria from federal states that offer training for specific school types.
