Specialists for the mechanical engineering industry

With around 3 million employees in Germany, mechanical engineering is one of the core sectors of German and European industry. According to a survey by the Ifo economic research institute, the shortage of skilled workers is the main reason for the current deterioration in the competitiveness of the German mechanical engineering sector. Due to demographic change, many well-qualified engineers and specialists in the plant engineering sector will retire in the coming years. Almost 700,000 engineers will retire by 2029. The training company alfatraining has been active throughout Germany for over 20 years in order to qualify specialists for mechanical engineering.

User knowledge of the latest industry-specific technologies and the latest know-how on international sales markets, customer requirements, optimization processes and value chains are necessary to gain a foothold in the mechanical engineering job market. Tens of thousands of specialists have already successfully qualified for top-class jobs in the mechanical engineering industry at alfatraining. The cutting-edge course portfolio at alfatraining includes 17 Lehrgänge, which is conceptually tailored to the needs of the industry.

For example, participants of alfatraining learn basic visualization techniques in the course AutoCAD 2D/3D or Inventor and can create highly complex drawings of machines and components after completing the course. The CAD software CATIA V5 is primarily used in design and development departments in the automotive and aviation industries. Certified graduates of the course CATIA V5 from alfatraining are able to carry out design processes with CATIA V5 and create sophisticated three-dimensional drawings and receive the title CATIA Mechanical Designer Specialist upon successful completion. The course CATIA V5 Flächenmodellierung enables you to work on complex surfaces in the CATIA V5 design environment and concludes with the original certification from Dassault Systèmes as a CATIA Mechanical Surface Designer Specialist. In the course Siemens NX, participants learn how to use the Siemens NX user interface as well as 3D modeling of assemblies and the creation of model drawings. They also gain an insight into advanced part modeling. The practice-oriented course Siemens NX Flächenmodellierung teaches the design of different curve and surface shapes with Siemens NX. Exercises are used to apply, analyze and train the most important functions. In the course SOLIDWORKS, course participants use sketch-based features, operation features and libraries to create 3D parametric parts and assemblies. Graduates apply for the job market with the Certified SOLIDWORKS Associate (CSWA) certificate and have excellent opportunities for a sought-after job in the very well-paid mechanical engineering industry. In the courses at CAD für ausländische Fachkräfte, international specialists can train for a job in the German-speaking mechanical engineering sector.

In order to remain one of the world's leading technology countries, Germany urgently needs qualified specialists in mechanical engineering. alfatraining makes an important contribution to providing top-class further training for the specialist staff so urgently needed by the mechanical engineering industry.
