Presentation of the project results
Changes are possible, the course content is updated regularly.
You have solid knowledge of project management - strategic, technical, personal and social skills, e.g. in communication, teamwork and feedback.
In addition, upon completion of this course, you will be familiar with the technical fundamentals of electric mobility across its various fields of application. You will understand the design and interaction of the drive system, battery, power electronics, and charging technology; you will be able to evaluate solutions in terms of range, cost-effectiveness, and environmental impact; and you will be able to contextualize the key regulatory frameworks. Furthermore, you will be able to plan and present projects in the field of electric mobility.
Persons from the technical, design and/or commercial or office sector who are familiar with the planning, implementation and evaluation of projects or who aspire to such an activity.
New graduates and career changers from sales, product development, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, business, and mechatronics, as well as specialists and managers at manufacturers and suppliers.
Upon successful completion of the course, you will receive the "Certified Project Management Associate (IPMA® Level D)" certificate from PM-ZERT. The certification is based on the ICB® (IPMA Competence Baseline®). This provides a detailed insight into your newly acquired qualifications in the field of project management and thus facilitates your career entry and advancement.
The electrification of passenger cars, commercial vehicles, public transportation, logistics, and mobile machinery is also transforming entire industries. Specialists with in-depth knowledge of electric mobility are in high demand not only at vehicle manufacturers and suppliers but also in the energy sector, the charging infrastructure sector, fleet management, and in sales and consulting.
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). Companies can also have their employees qualified via funding from Agentur für Arbeit (Qualifizierungschancengesetz).
