The preparatory service at the City of Erlangen lasts 2 years. Theoretical training periods at the Bavarian School of Administration alternate with practical training periods in the various municipal departments. Training begins on September 1st.
Theoretical training
The theoretical training takes place within the framework of 5 specialized courses at the Bavarian School of Administration in Nuremberg. The main areas of focus here are
- Law (e.g. municipal law, building law, administrative law, private law),
- Economics and finance (e.g. administrative economics, municipal budgeting) and
- Administrative theory (e.g. administrative organization).
A total of 25 written examinations must be taken, which are scheduled at the end of the respective specialist courses. The grades from the exams are included in the overall examination result.
Finally, the qualification examination must be taken in the last specialist course. This consists of a written and an oral part. The results achieved here are of course taken into account in the overall examination result.
Further information on theoretical training can be found on the homepage of the Bavarian School of Administration.
Practical training
The practical training takes place in various specialist departments of the City of Erlangen.
We consider you to be a fully-fledged employee during your preparatory service, i.e. you do not sit in the basement of the town hall and work on theoretical cases, but are directly involved on the front line. Through concrete and practice-oriented activities, you will become familiar with the tasks and typical work processes of the second qualification level and will be systematically familiarized with the content of the profession.
You will learn about economic, social and political contexts, apply legal regulations to specific cases, draw up decisions and often have direct contact with the citizens of our city.
As an employee of the City of Erlangen, you will ensure that our customers receive comprehensive advice through a service-oriented approach.
As a clerk, you will process applications and inquiries, make the necessary administrative decisions and also carry out organizational tasks.
You can therefore expect a wide range of challenging and varied tasks: From issuing an identity card and granting unemployment benefit II to issuing a restaurant permit and issuing a driving license.
As part of your training, you will gain a broad insight into the tasks of our city administration. You will also receive feedback on your strengths and weaknesses so that you can actively tackle your personal development.
The aim is always to prepare you for your future employment after your training.
When you start your training, you will be appointed as a civil servant on revocation. This gives rise to special rights and obligations that are regulated by law for civil servants, as you are in a relationship of service and loyalty under public law. You will not receive a training contract, as you will be appointed as a civil servant by being issued with a certificate of appointment.
During your training, you will receive a monthly salary of € 1,359.93 (gross) and around € 1,314.96 (net) if you are unmarried and have no children.
In addition, there are capital-forming benefits of €13.29 per month, a special payment (Christmas bonus) and possibly a local and family allowance.
The salary is based on the Bavarian Salary Act (BayBesG).
(as of 01.12.2022)
After training, the starting salary in grade A6, level 2, is currently € 2,606.56 (gross) and approx. € 2,229.48 (net) if you are unmarried and have no children.
In addition, you will receive capital-forming benefits of € 6.65 per month, a special payment (Christmas bonus) and possibly a local and family allowance. You can also expect regular salary increases and performance-related steps.
The salary is based on the Bavarian Salary Act (BayBesG).

For the duration of the preparatory service, an official laptop will also be provided for use.
Travel to the Bavarian School of Administration will be reimbursed in accordance with the Bavarian Travel Expenses Act (BayRKG) and the Separation Allowance Ordinance (TGV).
All the social benefits that the city administration of Erlangen offers its employees naturally also apply to our junior staff.
Anyone who regularly travels to work by public transport receives a monthly travel allowance from the City of Erlangen. During their training, junior employees can purchase the Bavarian discount ticket (€29 ticket). The costs incurred for this are reimbursed in full by the City of Erlangen upon application. However, it is also possible (depending on availability) to apply for a municipal employee parking space.
Civil servants are not subject to compulsory health, pension and unemployment insurance. However, there is compulsory insurance for long-term care insurance. Even as a civil servant candidate, you are entitled to benefits from the City of Erlangen. The allowance is a pro rata reimbursement by the employer to the person entitled to the allowance for specific expenses incurred in cases of illness, nursing care and childbirth as well as for measures for the early detection of illnesses and vaccinations. The allowance usually covers 50 to 80% of the costs. You can take out private health insurance to cover the remaining costs.
Due to generous flexitime rules, daily working hours outside school hours can be flexibly arranged in most areas of employment from the time you reach the age of majority.
As part of the company health management program, we offer regular sports courses and other health-promoting activities that you can take part in.
The number of trainees at the City of Erlangen is based on the anticipated personnel requirements.
The City of Erlangen can therefore offer you a guarantee of subsequent employment if you are suitable, qualified and have the necessary technical skills.
Upon successful completion of the course, you will be entitled to use the professional title "Verwaltungswirt*in".
As part of your training, you will be qualified as a "generalist". This means that during your training you will be prepared for the diverse tasks of our city administration in the various departments, with the result that you will be able to work almost anywhere after successfully completing your training; only then will you specialize to a certain extent with the assigned position.
As part of your personal development, you can then also apply for internally advertised positions and change careers within the city administration (job rotation). This means that you can expect to work in a wide variety of areas later on, allowing you to change jobs and thus work according to your interests and skills.
The organization of our city administration is reflected in the business distribution plan.
At the City of Erlangen, training is seen as the first step in personnel development. After completing it, employees have extensive career advancement and development opportunities at their disposal. For further professional qualification, a varied and high-quality further education and training program is offered.
There are promotion opportunities up to the level of administrative inspector. The principle of performance orientation is at the heart of what happens at Erlangen City Council.
In addition, particularly qualified and motivated civil servants can be promoted to the third qualification level by way of training qualification or modular promotion qualification. The training qualification, for example, provides for a three-year or, if shortened, a two-year course of study to become a Diplom-Verwaltungswirt (FH). As part of this promotion measure, all tuition and examination fees are covered by the city administration of Erlangen. Free accommodation will also be provided for our students at the Bavarian Civil Service University, which is located in Hof/Saale. The status already acquired by the civil servants will be retained. Consequently, the salary they have already received will continue to be paid during their studies.
The application period runs from approximately February to May of the previous year of employment.
