Ausbildung

Hi guys,
I'm an ex Au pair here in Germany and I wanted to know some rules about countinuing Ausbildung here in German.

I'm interested in because a Cousine of mine want also to come here in Germany,but doing an Ausbildung. The problem is that she's 17 years old and we are from Albania,which isn't in Europian Union yet. I read an writting in a blog that people can search for Ausbildung and started it since they are 16. Is this rule only for the Eu people or for everyone?

Thank you very much for your time :D

Best Regards,

An apprenticeship can be done from 16 years of age, that is correct.
But I doubt your cousin will get a visa and place to live if she is still underage (unless she has close relatives here who can act as her guardian).
Therefore I recommend she waits until she is 18.
