Presentation of the project results
Changes are possible, the course content is updated regularly.
You have extensive knowledge of software testing, are familiar with various testing methods, and can independently plan, organize, and conduct systematic testing for both traditional software development and in agile environments.
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.
Project managers, quality assurance representatives, quality managers, business analysts, software testers, software developers, app developers, and IT professionals
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.
Software testers are employed wherever software is developed or websites are created. Software testers are also sought after in the gaming industry and by service providers who specialize in software testing. With the "ISTQB® Certified Tester Foundation Level" certificate, you can provide meaningful proof of your new knowledge.
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).
