Changes are possible. The course content is updated regularly.

After the course, you will have basic knowledge of electromobility and be able to assess the benefits and possible applications of various electric drives. You will be familiar with the physical and technical characteristics of electric vehicles and will also be familiar with legal aspects and safety concepts for companies.

You will also be familiar with the technical terms and processes associated with the digital revolution and have knowledge of how to introduce and support digital transformation in a company.

Newcomers and career changers who want to learn more about electromobility and improve their career opportunities in this future market. In addition, professionals in the automotive industry who want to prepare themselves for the challenges and opportunities of the electromobile transport revolution.

Industry 4.0 specialists are not only employed by large industrial companies. Small and medium-sized companies that want to participate in the digital transformation are also looking for qualified personnel with knowledge of Industry 4.0. After the course, you can provide meaningful proof of your new skills with a TÜV Rheinland-certified qualification.

The challenges of climate policy are also leading to a rethink in the vehicle industry: in Germany, the focus is primarily on electric motors. Specialists with knowledge of electromobility are therefore offered numerous exciting new fields of work in all technical sectors.

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.
