Coded means tested. One welding test before you fly, watched by an independent examiner. That certificate is what those numbers are paid for.

A route advisor who knows your corridor calls you back.
Who can apply

There are two ways in.

Route one: you have three or more years of documented welding work. You are coded and deployed direct on the skilled-worker visa. Route two: you hold a fresh ITI welding certificate and no experience. Then your route is Germany's Recognition Partnership: your 2-year ITI, a German employer, and A2 German, while your verified experience record builds in the Kaushal Pramaan Book. We will tell you on the call, honestly, which route is yours, and how long it takes.

No ITI and no welding years?

The ITI is step zero, and we say so plainly on the call.

The credential truth, up front: 'Welder' is not a standalone German trade qualification, so the file runs on your ITI certificate plus your coded test, not on the word welder. Experienced welders (3+ documented years) enter on the skilled-worker visa (§18a). Fresh ITI grads enter through the Recognition Partnership (§16d Abs. 3): a German employer, A2 German, your 2-year ITI. Both routes are law, and we prepare the file to the letter.

The code
Before departure you sit a coded welding test to the European standard (ISO 9606-1), witnessed by an independent third party. The certificate states exactly what you may weld: process, material, position. That is what German employers read.
The visa
§18a skilled-worker visa if you're experienced, or the §16d Abs. 3 Recognition Partnership if you hold a fresh ITI. [V] Recognition Partnership · §16d AufenthG
The staying
Settlement permit after 3 years on the skilled-worker title, with B1 German. [V] Settlement permit · §18c AufenthG
Your family
Once you hold the skilled-worker title, spouse and children join immediately, the spouse's A1 German requirement is waived, and your spouse gets full work rights. [V] Family reunification · §30 AufenthG
The demand
Germany's welding skilled-worker gap rose 19.3% in 2025 to a record level, driven by infrastructure and defence spending. [V] KOFA skilled-labour review 2025 The shortage is not Germany’s alone. Australia rates welders in national shortage too, though Germany is the route we run. [V] Occupation Shortage List 2025 · Jobs and Skills Australia
The language
A2 German starts the fresh-ITI route. B1 German is what settlement needs. Taught from your mother tongue via Kaushal Bhasha, alongside the torch work, not after it.

Asked by every family

The questions that matter.

I have an ITI but no experience. Can I go now?+

The honest answer: the one zero-experience route is the Recognition Partnership, and it needs your 2-year ITI, a German employer and A2 German. Where that employer match takes time, the coded certificate plus KPB-verified Indian experience builds your file for a premium deployment in year 2 or 3. We say which applies to you on the call, not after you have paid.

What does 'coded' mean?+

A welding certificate is not a general diploma. It is a witnessed test of one exact combination of process, material and position, and it lapses if unused. We code you to the European standard so the certificate travels.

How much German?+

A2 to enter through the partnership. B1 for settlement. Kaushal Bhasha teaches it from your mother tongue, parallel to the welding.

Can my family come?+

On the skilled-worker title: immediately, spouse A1 waived, spouse works. During the recognition phase the rules are tighter. We map your family's dates honestly before you fly.

What does it cost?+

The fee depends on the route, and you hear it itemised, line by line, on the call and then in writing. 30% of it falls due only after you have both the job and the visa.
