As your screenshot correctly explains: A large part of this Ausbildung will be in customer service where you must be able to communicate in German. And that will include talking to customers who may need help with some banking issue, which you then have to be able to explain to them in German and banking-specific vocabulary.
Do not think that B2 will be sufficient. And even if you have C1 on paper, you actually need to speak it in a professional setting.
A bank clerk was a safe job 50 years ago, now the banks are closing branches and jobs will be replaced by AI (this is a simplified statement). If you haven’t done any Ausbildung yet, please consider finding something more future-proof and requiring less than native-level of German language skills.
They state the reason for their demand of high language skills and realistically they are right. You cannot have fluent Kundengespräche with B level skills, especially not on the phone.
Make no mistake, B level is still pretty rudimentary in many ways and customers rightfully expect their bank staff to be able to communicate clearly.
So, you can of course keep looking for a bank to accept your relatively low German skills, but I wouldn’t get my hopes up tbh.
u/toqqrul8 : I know plenty of Indians who have learnt everything from school till college in English (nor just as a language) and can hardly communicate 5 sentences properly. A LOT of countries have really inferior education standards.
