An occupation that requires formal, legally regulated vocational training, which typically takes place in a company and at a vocational school (dual system).

training / education
'die Ausbildung' and 'der Ausbildungsberuf' both belong to the topic of learning a profession. 'die Ausbildung' means the whole process: you learn a profession, often work in a company, and attend vocational school. 'der Ausbildungsberuf', on the other hand, means the profession itself that you can learn in this way, for example baker or mechatronics technician. Learners may confuse the words because both have to do with the dual system. In practice: you do an 'Ausbildung' in an 'Ausbildungsberuf'.
