are you allowed to lenghten your ausbildung?

Question

im currently not on ausbildungsduldung, im on aufenthaltsgestattung but im doing my ausbildung. i just finished my ausbildungs first year and my teachers want me to repeat the semester because zwischenprüfung partner was incompetent in the exams and wouldnt let me practice with her and in studies and i couldnt learn well (im doing physiotherapy and she was actually kicked out of the school for being unreliable)
now on my aufenthaltsg. it says "ausbildung längstens bis 30.09.28" erlaubt. i started in 10.2025. can i tell ausländerbehörde that it will be lenghtened a bit? im not thrown out of the school or anything but is it banned to fail?

Hi,

As long as you are still doing the Ausbildung in the Autumn of 2028, then the remark on your Aufenthaltsgestattung should be extended. If you do not complete it by 30.09.28, then they will need to see proof that you are still enrolled on the course.

What I don’t fully understand is why you have a remark on your Aufenthaltsgestattung about the Ausbildung. Are you doing a ‘duale Ausbildung’, i.e. working at a company part of the time and in school the rest of the time? In Germany, physiotherapy is usually offered solely as a school-based ‘schulische Ausbildung’. For a schulische Ausbildung there is no permission needed from the Ausländerbehörde.

Best,
