DEHOGA Campus

The DEHOGA Campus offers an ideal combination of modern accommodation and first-class training in Baden-Württemberg. At the Bad Überkingen and Calw locations, DEHOGA Baden-Württemberg sets new standards for the needs of young people during their training. Whether in the hospitality industry, in gardening and landscaping or as a specialist for media and information services - all trainees benefit from a modern learning environment as well as a comfortable living environment, which creates a pleasant atmosphere during the block teaching phases.

Trainees in the hospitality industry, with the exception of trainees in hotel management, are based at one of the two DEHOGA Campus locations. Calw is also home to media and information services specialists, while Bad Überkingen accommodates trainees in gardening and landscaping. The DEHOGA Campus makes training a holistic experience - interdisciplinary and future-oriented.

Why does training pay off?

Companies that offer apprenticeships benefit twice over: they secure qualified specialists at an early stage who are already working productively during their apprenticeship - and build up their own team of tomorrow in a targeted manner. At the same time, their commitment not only strengthens their own corporate image, but also makes an important contribution to the attractiveness of the entire industry. Promoting young talent pays off - today and in the future.

Who can train?

Anyone who is professionally and personally qualified may provide Training. “Professionally qualified” means holding a relevant completed vocational qualification and several years of professional experience.

Additionally, vocational and pedagogical suitability must be demonstrated. For personal suitability, a police clearance certificate is required. Training authorization is obtained through the Chamber of Industry and Commerce (IHK), which also assesses the suitability criteria.

How does dual training work?

Vocational training follows a dual system, combining theoretical education at vocational schools with practical training in the workplace.

Attendance at the vocational school ensures the acquisition of theoretical and specialized knowledge. Training in school lasts about twelve weeks annually, organized in “blocks”, during which trainees attend vocational school for several consecutive weeks.

Where are the vocational schools located?

In the first year of training in the hotel and catering industry, classes are held at a local home economics school near the trainee’s workplace.

In the second and third year, trainees attend one of the four specialized state vocational schools for the hotel and gastronomy industry in Bad Überkingen, Calw, Tettnang or Villingen-Schwenningen. These schools are equipped with professional kitchens, restaurants, bars, and hotel rooms to provide hands-on learning experiences. The teaching staff are experienced professionals from the gastronomy and hotel industry.

Gardening and landscaping trainees attend the Justus-von-Liebig School in Göppingen. A shuttle bus takes them comfortably from the DEHOGA Campus Bad Überkingen to the school and back again.

The media and information services specialists attend the Hermann Gundert School in Calw.
