Take the retraining examination in dual training occupations

Retraining serves the purpose of professional reorientation, usually because you can no longer exercise your previous profession. Retraining takes place on the basis of a recognised training occupation and, just like vocational training, is completed with a final examination, the retraining examination.

Retraining examinations consist of a written examination part and a practical or oral examination part. Both parts of the examination usually take place on different days. The written part of the examination takes place nationwide on a fixed day at the same time.

A retraining examination is held regionally by the bodies responsible for training in your occupation (e.g. Chamber of Industry and Commerce) for all retrainees at the end of the retraining period. Before you can take part in the retraining examination, you must have completed the retraining. This is two thirds of the usual training period in the respective occupation.

Since you have concluded a retraining contract with a company or educational institution, this retraining relationship has been notified to the regionally competent body (e.g. Chamber of Industry and Commerce) by your contractual partner. The responsible office therefore knows in which period you will take your Umtraining examination will be taken. The admission and registration process is started by the competent body by post or electronically.

The retraining examination is organised by the competent regional body in consultation with the examination board, which works on a voluntary basis. The examination board consists of an employer representative, employee representative and teacher representative. It takes your examination performance and evaluates it.


Your retraining relationship ends when the examination board announces the result. If you do not pass the retraining examination, you have the opportunity to repeat the examination twice.

The examination fees that become due are paid by the training company or educational institution with which you have concluded a retraining contractwith which you have concluded a retraining contract.
