Can someone with an aufenthaltsgestattung switch to a resident permit if he get an ausbildung contract?

Question

Hi I have been leaving in Germany for a year six months now with  with an Aufenthaltsgestattung am currently doing a schuleablusss after which I will do a Krankenpfleger assistant for one year and then go on to do my 3years Krankenpfleger ausbildung, but my question is :
If I can secure an ausbildung-platz after my one year Krankenpfleger assistance is it possible in anyway to switch to a resident permit if I get an ausbildung contract?

Hi @Iwuala Albert

It is not possible to change from an Aufenthaltsgestattung to a residence permit for an Ausbildung. You can continue your Ausbildung as long as you have the Aufenthaltsgestattung. If you do not receive a positive decision in your asylum application, you can then apply for an Ausbildungsduldung. In this case, you can then receive a residence permit to work after completing the Ausbildung.

Best,
