Teacher Training / Internship

Please note that we need one or three weeks for the preparation of final documents, depending on the type of graduation. Please note that we need two or four weeks for the preparation of final documents, depending on the final goal. Please plan your degree in such a way that the deadlines for the preparatory service in North Rhine-Westphalia can be met and you can apply for it with the certificate.

However, if you have completed your studies, but are unable to meet the deadlines for the preparatory service in North Rhine-Westphalia due to the outstanding certificate, there is an alternative option: In this case, the Examination Office transmits the data of graduates who are unable to submit their final documents to the district governments in time for the start of the traineeship digitally in advance to the Ministry of Education. The Ministry, in turn, passes the data on to the district governments.

If your certificate cannot be prepared in time, you must submit a consent form for data transfer digitally to the Examination Office. The form is available on request from your responsible staff at the Examination Office. Attention: Please only request the form and send it back if you are unable to meet the deadlines for the preparatory service in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia due to the outstanding certificate preparation!

In order to be able to forward your data to the Ministry, all achievements in the data set must be completed and the application for the preparation of final documents must be submitted to the Examination Office (by 12 noon on the day of the data transmission).

The data will be transmitted to the Ministry on Friday, 29.09.2023, Friday, 06.10.2023 and Monday, 16.10.2023 once at 12 noon. Subsequently received data will no longer be taken into account. If you have submitted your data to the Examination Office by the latest deadline, these will also be transmitted to the Ministry on one of the dates.
