The gross salary is staggered depending on the year of apprenticeship, and you also receive sales commissions.
Programme organisation and qualification
The theoretical portion of your apprenticeship in Bavaria is taught at the “Akademie Handel” and is arranged in teaching blocks. In addition to the Munich location, it is also possible to take the apprenticeship programme as a commercial specialist at other locations across Germany. We have locations in Hamburg, Berlin, Düsseldorf, Frankfurt, Bremen, Hannover, Leipzig, Dresden, Cologne, Kampen, Glashütte and Nuremberg. Please note: Outside of the state of Bavaria, the apprenticeship starts on 1 August. The programme culminates in IHK examinations for two state-approved qualifications: Qualified commercial specialist and retail clerk.
In the Bavarian capital, Wempe maintains two representative central locations, one in Maximilianstraße and one in Weinstraße. This is where the practical part of your training takes place.

Your apprenticeship in Munich: Living and working in a prime location
A great place to live: Munich regularly takes one of the top slots in city rankings, and has been among the most liveable cities in Germany and Europe for years. One more reason why the Wempe apprenticeship as a commercial specialist in Munich is such a hot item. The Bavarian capital is a great place to learn, work and live: The compact city centre offers everything within easy reach, a superb road grid lets cyclists travel the city in safety and ease, and public transport takes people from A to B in a snap.
Despite this compact city centre, Munich has all the features of a modern metropolis with outstanding museums, excellent restaurants and cafés and a wide range of cultural events of all kinds. Nightlife in the Bavarian capital also draws lots of visitors and new residents from all around the world - and not just for the annual Oktoberfest on Theresienwiese but year-round. For those who enjoy sports in their free time, Munich has plenty to offer. Various associations offer a wide range of sporting activities, and the surrounding countryside is popular for good reason: Skiing and snowboarding in winter are as attractive as hiking or mountain climbing during the warmer months.
