Changes are possible. The course content is updated regularly.

General knowledge of German (B1) is a prerequisite for participation in the course.

After the course, you will be able to use the 2D functions and techniques of the latest version of AutoCAD software quickly and effectively and create complex two-dimensional drawings. The Autodesk product range is the most widely used CAD software in the world. As a vector-oriented drawing program, AutoCAD is based on simple objects such as lines, polylines, circles, arcs and texts and therefore offers you an excellent introduction to the field of CAD. You will also get to know 3D drawings and basic visualization techniques.

You will also learn how to use the new EPLAN drawing environment. This includes the drawing of circuit diagrams in the areas of device, machine, plant and building technology. After the course, you will also be able to evaluate these plans and document electrical systems and devices.

The course also includes work-related German language support. Here you will learn how to draft business correspondence in accordance with current regulations and how to communicate confidently both internally and externally. The theoretical content from the most common business fields is supplemented by language components to ensure integration into the German job market.

Persons with a degree in engineering, technicians, master craftsmen, technical draughtsmen and specialists with relevant professional experience, taking into account an integrative part.

With knowledge of electrical planning with EPLAN, you will find employment opportunities in companies in many technical sectors, e.g. in planning offices, specialist companies for the installation and commissioning of technical systems.

The course also provides you with work-related German language training to enable you to write business correspondence in accordance with current regulations and to communicate confidently both internally and externally.

Your meaningful certificate provides a detailed insight into the qualifications you have acquired and improves your career prospects.

Didactic concept

Your lecturers are highly qualified both professionally and didactically and will teach you from the first to the last day (no self-study system).

You will learn in effective small groups. The courses usually consist of 6 to 25 participants. The general lessons are supplemented by numerous practical exercises in all course modules. The practice phase is an important part of the course, as it is during this time that you process what you have just learned and gain confidence and routine in its application. The final section of the course involves a project, a case study or a final exam.
