How to apply: Here's how easy it is to apply for an apprenticeship at Volkswagen
Your application for an apprenticeship can be completed in just a few simple steps. Here's what you need to know.
- The online application takes approximately 10 to 15 minutes to complete.
- The application process typically takes around 3 months. However, depending on the number of applications received, the duration may vary – we ask for your understanding that we cannot guarantee a fixed timeframe. It's important to us that we review each application carefully and create fair conditions for all applicants. We consciously take the time needed for this thorough process.
Step 1: Create your candidate profile
To apply, you'll need to create a candidate profile. First, you'll provide your contact details so we can reach you. Then you can add your personal information and qualifications. You can edit or delete your profile and information at any time.
Important: If you want to apply for multiple apprenticeship programs, please always use the same email address.
Step 2: Upload your documents
In the second step, you'll upload your certificates and CV/resume. You'll also add your optional cover letter (also called a motivation letter) here. On your profile page, you can also add additional documents or replace them with newer versions at any time.
Important: If you upload additional documents later, don't forget to click "Update" in each of your existing applications. This is the only way to link the new documents to your specific applications and make them visible to everyone involved.

Step 3: Submit your application
You're done!
Your online application is complete. In the final step, you can review all the information you've provided and uploaded documents once more. If you want to make changes, simply click on the respective step. You can also save your application as a draft and continue later. After submitting, you'll receive a confirmation email within minutes.
What happens next
- After submitting your online application, you'll receive an invitation to our online test within a short time. This test takes 135-160 minutes depending on the occupational group. Depending on the occupational group, there may be additional tests, so we ask you to check each online test invitation carefully.
- After a positive test result, we'll invite you to a half-day selection event. This consists of an on-site test and an interview, among other things.
- Depending on the occupational group (e.g., company fire department), a medical examination by the company doctor may be necessary.
- If your selection day is also a complete success, nothing should stand in the way of offering you an employment contract.
