Hi,
I would like to ask how much time we are supposed to stay in Germany? Do we have to be part of the training all the 18 months?
Thank you,
Stefanija

  Stefanija,
  
  I don't think so, you should also spent some time abroad.
  In any case, I would write here and ask: http://www.dw-world.de/popups/popup_sendfeedback/…
