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 plan and design circuit diagrams. To do this, you will master the use of AutoCAD - you will use the functions and techniques quickly and effectively, create complex two-dimensional drawings and gain an insight into 3D drawings and basic visualization techniques. You will also have relevant knowledge of how to use the new EPLAN drawing environment. This includes the drawing of circuit diagrams in the areas of device, machine and plant construction and building technology, the evaluation of these diagrams and the documentation of electrical systems and devices.

The course also provides you with job-related German skills for typical communication situations in a commercial and technical working environment. You will learn how to write business correspondence in accordance with current regulations and act confidently in internal and external corporate communications. The combination of specialist subject areas such as business, marketing and logistics and work-related language practice will help you to further develop your communication skills in a professional context.

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 support to enable you to write business correspondence in accordance with current regulations and to communicate confidently both internally and externally. The informative Goethe-Test PRO will give you a detailed insight into the language skills you have acquired, making it easier for you to enter and advance in your career.

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.

 

Virtual classroom alfaview®

Lessons take place using modern alfaview® video technology - either from the comfort of your own home or at our premises at Bildungszentrum. The entire course can see each other face-to-face via alfaview®, communicate with each other in lip-sync voice quality and work on joint projects. Of course, you can also see and talk to your connected trainers live at any time and you will be taught by your lecturers in real time for the entire duration of the course. The lessons are not e-learning, but real live face-to-face lessons via video technology.

 

The courses at alfatraining are funded by Agentur für Arbeit and are certified in accordance with the AZAV approval regulation. When submitting a Bildungsgutscheinor Aktivierungs- und Vermittlungsgutschein, the entire course costs are usually covered by your funding body.
Funding is also possible via Europäischen Sozialfonds (ESF), Deutsche Rentenversicherung (DRV) or regional funding programs. As a regular soldier, you have the option of attending further training courses via Berufsförderungsdienst (BFD).
