The State Vocational School for Musical Instrument Making, Mittenwald was founded in 1858, offering courses for apprentices leading to the Journeyman’s examination (Gesellenprüfung). Following this, a three-year period of employment is taken, then a further one-year advanced course leads to the Master’s examination (Meisterprüfung). No tuition fees are charged, with all costs for school trips, books and tools being at the expense of the students.
