FAQ
The therapeutic care training programme in Torgau lasts three years on a full-time basis. It consists of classes at the vocational college and work placements in recognised organisations providing support for people with disabilities. The duration may be shortened if you can provide evidence that you have already completed a training programme or parts of one. In Saxony, for example, early years educators can shorten the training programme. The college will discuss credit recognition with you during your personal interview.
As a rule, you will need a secondary school leaving certificate (Realschulabschluss) as well as prior practical experience, for example through a completed vocational training programme or a pre-placement work experience placement in a field related to therapeutic care. A medical certificate confirming your fitness for the role is also required. As entry requirements in Saxony are regulated on a case-by-case basis, it is worth seeking advice directly from the school.
Remedial care workers support people of all ages with disabilities, primarily in residential homes, sheltered workshops and special educational institutions. Early years practitioners work predominantly with children and young people, for example in crèches and nursery schools. Both training programmes are part of the vocational college for social services. After qualifying as a childcare worker, you can undertake a shortened course in special needs care in Saxony.
