What does modular training mean?

Why is a modular course plan useful?

Many people don't start from scratch. You may already have professional experience, be familiar with certain work processes or already have basic technical knowledge. At the same time, you may lack knowledge that is important in today's job market, such as up-to-date software skills, a recognized certificate or specific specialist knowledge.

A modular course plan helps you to close these gaps in a targeted manner. You don't just take "any" further training course, but build up your professional profile step by step. This is particularly helpful if you are reorienting yourself, returning to work after a break or want to update your existing knowledge.

How to find the right modules

A good training plan does not start with the question of which course sounds interesting. The more important question is: What professional goal do you want to achieve?

These steps will help you find your bearings

1. clarify your career goal

First, think about where you want to develop professionally. Would you like to return to your previous profession? Do you want to switch to a related field? Or are you planning a completely new start?

A clear career goal makes it easier to select modules. For example, if you want to work in accounting, different content is important than for a job in office management or human resources.

2. assess your previous knowledge

The next step is to look at your previous experience. What tasks have you already taken on? Which programs have you used? What knowledge is still current? Where do you feel unsure?

Requirements change quickly, especially when it comes to digital applications. It can therefore make sense to combine existing professional experience with current software knowledge.

3. recognize qualification gaps

Now you can see which skills you still lack for your goal. This could be technical basics, software skills, language skills, project management skills or industry-specific content.

If you already have commercial experience, modules in accounting, DATEV, SAP or controlling, for example, may be useful. If you want to work organizationally, office management, digital office processes or project management can be suitable additions.

4. combine modules sensibly

The selection of modules should result in a clear profile. Individual course modules should fit together professionally and contribute to your career goal.

A good modular training plan will also show employers later on where you want to develop.

5. check funding

All professional development courses at alfatraining can be funded by Bildungsgutschein. The decision is made by Agentur für Arbeit or the job center in a personal consultation.
