Employer first. Then the German driver qualification.
drivers4germany combines international recruitment with an employment-based qualification route for experienced truck and bus drivers from non-EU countries. First, a German employer is secured. Then immigration, the driving licence and professional-driver qualification are organised. Where full funding is approved, the candidate can complete eligible training without paying the course fees personally.
Funding and immigration are assessed individually and require a suitable employment and training setup.
Everything required for the professional driving job
The exact pathway depends on the licence already held, professional experience and the intended job in Germany.
C / CE
German heavy-vehicle driving licence including the required conversion and examination route.
D / DE
Driving licence and qualification route for commercial passenger transport by bus and coach.
Professional driver qualification
The required initial or accelerated professional-driver qualification for later commercial driving.
Job-specific German
German for dispatch, customers, inspections, workshops, loading and everyday professional driving situations.
Extra qualifications
Depending on the job: ADR, load securing, forklift, digital tachograph, logistics practice and occupational safety.
Suitable training partner
Training is organised through appropriate partners in Germany depending on location, funding route and qualification target.
The high licence and qualification cost does not necessarily have to be paid by the candidate.
In conventional international recruitment, drivers often have to finance C/CE or D/DE and the professional-driver qualification themselves. drivers4germany reverses the order: employer and employment contract first, funding assessment and qualification second.
From international driver to professional driver in Germany
Recruitment, employment, immigration and training are planned as one coordinated pathway.
Profile assessment
Existing heavy-vehicle or bus licence, driving experience and basic eligibility are reviewed.
Employer & contract
faktum Personal and go Almanya identify a suitable German employer and coordinate the concrete job offer.
Immigration
The employment and qualification route is prepared so that missing German qualifications can be acquired after arrival.
Funding & training
Funding eligibility is checked. C/CE or D/DE and FQN/Code 95 are then completed with suitable training partners.
Employed & paid
Employment continues during qualification. Until qualified for driving, suitable alternative duties with the employer can be performed.
Drive for the same employer
After successful qualification, the planned truck or bus driving role starts with the original employer.
Why the model is attractive
Strong employment perspective
An existing employment contract combined with a German C/CE or D/DE licence and professional-driver qualification creates a particularly strong starting position in the German labour market.
This is not a legal job guarantee beyond the existing employment contract.
