This is my teacher training at Heimerer in Munich
Small classes with individual support characterise your educator training. The informal atmosphere makes training easier, especially for parents with children, as the lecturers always have an open ear for you. This promotes professional dialogue and learning success. The group of teachers at the Specialist Academy for Social Pedagogy is made up of respected specialists, such as university lecturers, media pedagogues, etc.. This is why the teacher training programme is rated as very good by practitioners. Students are often recruited during their first work placement. The pedagogical focus of the Fachakademie für Sozialpädagogik München is "Let's play" and is based on the motto "Understanding life through play". This is because play is the most important way for children to learn about the world and develop and is therefore the ideal way to work with children in an educational capacity. Training to become an educator is free of charge!
Digital media - a focus of educator training
Digital media strongly characterise the lives of children and young people. Media such as smartphones, tablets and games are a natural part of their everyday lives, which is why promoting media skills should not only be the task of parents, but also of specialised educational staff. As part of our "Media Education Practice" certificate course, our students acquire theoretical and action-orientated knowledge so that they can actively and creatively implement media education topics in the future.
The specialised academy for social pedagogy in a central location!
The specialised academy for social pedagogy in Munich has bright, friendly rooms - learning is fun here. The good acoustics are a particular advantage of the rooms. As the training centre for occupational therapists is located in the same building, there are great workrooms. These can also be used for educator training. The easy accessibility of the school in the immediate vicinity of Munich's main railway station saves you time, which you can use to spend with your family, friends or to study!
Educator training - the joy of support! A look into the future...
The labour market situation for nursery teachers (especially in Munich and the surrounding area) is very good. One reason for this is the legal entitlement to a childcare place for children from the age of one, which has been in place since 2013. However, the increasing demands placed on children in society are also leading to a growing need for very well-trained educators. Early childhood development plays a greater role in this generation than ever before. Further training in this area, such as that offered by the Heimerer Academy, allows you to gain further qualifications. Overall, the areas of employment for educators are increasing. Graduates of the specialised academy for social pedagogy now find it easier to find a job that matches their personal expectations and strengths .
Building the future together
Frequently asked questions about educator training in Munich
How long does training to become an educator in Munich take in total?
The length of training to become an educator in Munich depends on the chosen training model. The full-time training programme lasts three years: it is divided into two exciting academic years with internships and a one-year work placement.
What are the admission requirements?
The admission requirements for the educator training programme are determined by the federal states themselves. In principle, a secondary school leaving certificate is required, supplemented by a successfully completed socio-educational introductory year (SEJ). Alternatively, at least two years of completed vocational training in combination with an intermediate school-leaving certificate can also provide access. Anyone with an Abitur or Fachabitur can also apply, provided they can prove that they have completed a 200-hour internship in a socio-educational institution.

There are a wide range of possible placements. Here are some typical places where internships can be completed:
- Childcare centres (daycare centres)
- Afternoon care in schools
- Youth facilities
- Facilities for people with disabilities
- Social facilities such as family centres or children's homes
- Psychosocial facilities
Are there further training opportunities after training?
There are many opportunities for further training for a wide range of specialisations in the childcare profession. For example, you can train to become a specialist for children with special needs, a curative education nurse or a specialist in trauma education. If you are aiming to take on a management position, you can also train for this.
When does the training start?
Training usually starts after the summer holidays with the new school year. You can find out more about the next start date on our website. You can also use our apprenticeship finder. If you have any questions, you can always contact us - we will be happy to help you.
How much do I earn during my training as an educator?
No salary is paid during the first two years of school. During the subsequent work placement, however, you will receive a salary based on the collective agreement for trainees in the public sector (TVPöD). Since 1 May 2024, this has been around 1,802 euros gross per month. You can, however, apply for scholarships or apply for the Aufstiegs-BAföG and thus receive financial support. Important for you: Training to become an educator is free of tuition fees! However, you will also earn money during the SEJ, depending on the organisation.
