The apprenticeship register is a register of vocational training relationships existing in the district of the Berlin Chamber of Skilled Crafts, which must be kept in accordance with the Crafts (see legal basis) for the regulation, monitoring, promotion and proof of vocational training.
If the apprenticeship relationship is terminated or dissolved, the Berlin Chamber of Skilled Crafts / Apprenticeship Register Unit must be informed immediately in writing so that it can delete the entry in the Apprenticeship Register.
