Presentation of the project results
Changes are possible, the course content is updated regularly.
After completing the course, you will have a holistic overview of climate change, the analysis of CO₂ pollution and climate strategy. You will have mastered methods for creating a greenhouse gas balance sheet and implementing climate management and monitoring in organizations. You will also know the applicable regulations and requirements for your company, the challenges for urban planning and how to deal with AI and the public.
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.
Specialists and managers from various sectors, those responsible for environmental, energy, occupational health and safety or sustainability management, as well as future, appointed or existing climate protection officers.
It is also aimed at newcomers and career changers who want to learn more about electromobility and improve their career opportunities in this future market.
Climate change, increasing scarcity of energy and raw materials and higher costs for resources are increasing the need for sustainable solutions. Companies are therefore increasingly looking for specialists in climate protection management who can develop strategies to reduce energy consumption, improve environmental footprints and implement sustainable concepts.
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.
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). Companies can also have their employees qualified via funding from Agentur für Arbeit (Qualifizierungschancengesetz).
