Questions and answers about your trainee program
Can I still edit my applicant profile after I have submitted my application?
Unfortunately, once posted you are not able to revise your application itself. However, you can update the personal data in your Tchibo applicant profile and upload new documents. These would be included if you make a further application. However, if you urgently need to change something in your submitted application or if you have forgotten an important document, please send us an e-mail to studentenbetreuung@tchibo.de, stating the job title and your full name.
How long does the application process take?
The duration of the application process may vary, depending on the position applied for and the number of applicants we receive. However, we will do our best to provide you with feedback on the status of your application as quickly as possible and will keep you informed about the process at all times.
Can I send my documents to an e-mail address instead?
No. Please apply exclusively via our online portal for the position that interests you. This is the fastest way for us to view and evaluate your documents. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the person listed for your desired position.
I don’t speak German, does it make sense for me to apply?
German is our company language and there are only a few teams that (exclusively) speak English. Therefore, we only consider applicants with German language skills at level B2 or higher, unless otherwise stated in the job advertisement. If German is not your native language, please attach a certificate of German proficiency with your application.
At what point in my studies can I start the trainee program?
We do not have a fixed starting point and are flexible according to your wishes. However, you should not be too far from your graduation date (max. 3 months).
Do I need a master’s degree in order to join the training programme?
