Free application kit — no email wall
Free templates & application kit
The exact documents you need to apply for a German Ausbildung or a study place — the motivation letter, the German-format CV, the document checklist and the visa interview prep. Most agencies paywall these or trade them for your email. We just give them to you, because the honest advice is what we'd rather be judged on.

The kit, piece by piece
Start with the core kit, then add the interview prep when your embassy appointment gets close. Each one opens a short guide on how to actually use it.
Prefer an interactive checklist?
Pick your country and route and our document checklist builder generates the exact list — attestation body, translations and order of steps included — that you can tick off as you go.

Questions about the kit
Yes — every template on this page is free to download, with no email wall and no payment. Most consultancies lock a motivation letter or CV behind a form or a fee; we'd rather you have a solid starting point and judge us on our advice. Download what you need and use it straight away.
Only if you paste your name in and stop there. Each template is built to be personalised — the CV and motivation letter come with a framework for tailoring them to a specific employer or programme. A German-format document you've customised beats a beautiful one that ignores what the advert asked for.
The motivation letter and CV are editable .docx files you can open in Word, Google Docs or LibreOffice. The document checklist and visa interview prep are PDFs you can print or fill on screen. Everything is designed to work without special software.
Start with the document checklist so you know what you're collecting, then the German CV (Lebenslauf) and the motivation letter — those three are the core kit for any Ausbildung or study application. The visa interview prep sheet is for later, once you're close to your embassy appointment.
