Train India's Next Generation of Apprentices
Get your official AdA certificate (AEVO) — the German qualification that turns subject experts into certified, professional trainers. India's NEP 2020 demands a new generation of skilled vocational trainers. This is your credential.
The Global Standard for Certified Trainers
AdA (Ausbildung der Ausbilder — "Training the Trainers" in German) — also known as AEVO — is a globally recognised trainer qualification. Developed in Germany, now adopted by Indo-German vocational programmes across India, satisfying both NCVET guidelines and BBiG requirements. It covers four competency areas that span the full lifecycle of vocational training: from planning to final examination.
Check Prerequisites & Plan Training
Assess your company's legal and organizational readiness, verify trainer qualifications, evaluate training resources, and develop comprehensive training plans that meet vocational education standards.
Prepare Training & Recruit Apprentices
Design recruitment processes, conduct interviews, select the right trainees, create effective onboarding programs, and ensure a smooth transition from applicant to apprentice.
Conduct Day-to-Day Training
Apply teaching methodologies, transfer knowledge and practical skills, motivate apprentices, give structured feedback, manage learning progress, and handle day-to-day challenges in the training relationship.
Successfully Conclude Training
Prepare apprentices for final examinations, support career transition, conduct final assessments, and close out training contracts professionally and in line with chamber requirements.
Built for the Indo-German Sector.
AdA/AEVO is IGCC-recognised and follows the BBiG standard. This is the certification for people and institutions operating at the intersection of Indian talent and German industry — not a mass-market course.
German Companies Operating in India
IGCC members, AHK network companies, and German manufacturers with Indian facilities — Bosch, Siemens, ZF, Schaeffler and beyond. AdA-certified trainers meet the same standard as their German counterparts.
Indian Companies with German Partners
Joint ventures, Tier-1 suppliers, and Indian firms with German clients who need training staff that speak the same professional language as their German partners.
Private Schools Building Dual Education Tracks
Ambitious private schools integrating a genuine vocational education programme — not just a PMKVY checkbox, but a credible German-standard dual education offering that differentiates the institution.
GIZ, IGCC & Development Sector
Organisations running Indo-German skills initiatives, vocational development projects, and bilateral workforce programmes. AdA is the standard these programmes are built on.
Technical Experts Who Want to Teach
Engineers, technicians, and craftspeople with Indo-German sector experience who want to formally qualify as trainers — and have their credential recognised by German employers.
Professionals Targeting a German Career
Individuals preparing to work in Germany or with German companies. AdA/AEVO is a credential German HR departments immediately recognise and value — unlike any Indian-only qualification.

India Needs Qualified Trainers.

India's National Education Policy 2020 mandates vocational education integration at every level — from school to university. Private vocational schools, ITIs, and skill centres now urgently need certified, pedagogically trained instructors.

Why Candidates Struggle — and How We Help
Most people underestimate the AEVO exam. Here are the most common pain points and how proper preparation solves them.
15-Minute Presentation
The oral exam is harder than most expect. Presenting a realistic training scenario under time pressure — then fielding unexpected follow-up questions — trips up many candidates.
All-or-Nothing Scoring
80 questions in 180 minutes. Each question requires ALL correct answers — partial credit doesn't exist. Careless reading is the top reason for failure.
Beyond Technical Expertise
AdA requires pedagogical theory, German employment law, and didactic skills — not just technical know-how. Subject experts often lack the teaching methodology background.
60–120h While Working Full-Time
Balancing evening/weekend study with job responsibilities is a significant challenge. Without structure, many people procrastinate and arrive underprepared.
No Prior Training Background
Some candidates have never trained anyone before. The practical exam requires realistic scenario knowledge that's hard to prepare for without mentoring background.
Which Provider to Choose?
The market for AdA preparation is fragmented — dozens of providers, wildly varying quality, and unclear total costs confuse buyers who just need clear guidance.
Premium T&T Certifications — Honest Comparison
For the Indo-German sector and premium private schools, the relevant benchmarks are not mass-market programmes. Here is how AdA/AEVO compares to the certifications your German partners will recognise.

4 Action Areas System
AdA covers 4 action areas: planning, executing, assessing, and organisational management. A complete system, not a checklist.
Real Practical Exam
Other programmes give you a certificate for attending. AdA requires you to design and deliver a real 15-minute training scenario in front of examiners. That is the difference.
Internationally Portable
The AEVO/AdA standard is one of the most respected trainer qualifications globally. Recognised by German companies and Indo-German sector employers worldwide.
