Customs office in Dresden officially welcomed by HZA-DD main entrance ceremony
The Customs Office in Germany is offering a range of training and study opportunities for young individuals seeking a secure future in a large federal administration. On September 1, 2025, Senior Government Director Franz Horak welcomed 46 new trainees at the Main Customs Office Dresden, marking the start of these exciting ventures.
Among the opportunities are apprenticeships in the middle service, which last two years and qualify for the professional title of "financial administrator". A total of 37 trainees have embarked on this path. For those aiming higher, a dual study program in the higher service is available, lasting three years and resulting in the academic degree "Bachelor of Laws" (LL.B.). Nine individuals have started this program.
The practical phases of both the apprenticeship and the dual study program are spent in various departments of the training main customs office, nearby customs offices, customs investigation offices, and suitable departments of the General Customs Directorate. This hands-on experience provides a comprehensive understanding of the customs office's operations.
The theoretical parts of the dual study program for the higher service are completed at the Federal Administration School in Münster, while the theoretical parts for the middle service are at the training centers of the Federal Finance Administration's Education and Science Center.
