Waiting list and allocation procedure

In order to be able to allocate places in the modules to all applicants within a reasonable time, mandatory waiting lists will be introduced for modules 1, 3, and 4.

Waiting list

Anyone interested in the S1 training program should register for the waiting list for Module 1 and will be added to the end of the waiting list. There are no special requirements for registration, but personal requirements must be taken into account (see the section “Training program”).

Those who have completed Module 2 are eligible to register for the waiting lists for Modules 3 and 4. After registering, they will be added to the end of the respective waiting list. It is necessary to register for the waiting lists for both modules, which can be done in one step.

After registering for one of the waiting lists, your current position is secure until the end of the following month (but for at least 4 weeks; example: registering on May 13th, 2025 secures your place on the waiting list until the end of June). To remain on the waiting list, you must re-register at s1.vatger.de in the month before it expires.

If you successfully participate or are absent without excuse, your place on the waiting list will be deleted. 

Placement procedure

Anyone on the waiting list for modules 1, 3, or 4 can register for a date for the respective module. Places for a date are allocated 48 hours before the start of the date based on the waiting list. People higher up on the waiting list are given priority when places are allocated. This gives all those who have registered a certain degree of planning security for the date. Those who register after the allocation of places, including those with a higher waiting list position, will be allocated any remaining places on a first-come, first-served basis.

Anyone who has been allocated a place and is absent without excuse (notification must be given to the mentor conducting the module within 48 hours of the date at the latest) will be removed from all waiting lists and excluded from the training. If you are still interested, you must actively re-register for the waiting list for Module 1 and start the training again. The CoS will decide on exceptions on a case-by-case basis. This rule does not apply if the participant was assigned the place due to a confirmed participant canceling within 48 hours before the date.

Since appointments in English are only held sporadically and as needed, non-German-speaking applicants may be given preferential consideration when allocating places for such appointments. This is to avoid an unreasonably long wait until the next English-language appointment.
