Live Online Training & E-Learning Self-Study combines live instruction with independent learning. You attend daily live classes via Microsoft Teams, where you learn together with your trainer and other students in a virtual classroom. During these sessions, you alternate between guided lessons and independent learning phases. Your trainer is available throughout to answer your questions, support you with your tasks, and guide you through the learning process.

They will be your dedicated point of contact for all technical and subject-related queries regarding the training programme and will be on hand at all times to offer expert guidance should you face any challenges, have any uncertainties or need help with your studies.

Your trainer will help you to successfully understand and apply the course material, provide you with valuable professional insights and offer continuous support as you progress towards successfully completing the course.

Throughout your entire training program, you will participate in virtual Live Classes. During these sessions, you will discuss assignments, solutions, and practical exercises together with your trainer.

The Live Classes take place during the following times:

• Full-time: Monday to Friday, between 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM
• Part-time: Monday to Friday, between 9:00 AM and 12:00 PM

For every learning unit, a trainer is available online to answer your questions and provide support.

In addition to our strong focus on “learning by doing,” we place great importance on providing professional, state-of-the-art learning content. The theoretical material is presented through a combination of texts, graphics, images, and videos, including animations. All content is carefully designed from an educational perspective and meets high standards of visual quality. Our extensive video material provides an engaging, modern, and high-quality learning experience.

You will put what you have learned into practice immediately through a variety of hands-on, real-world assignments following each theoretical learning unit. You can also check your understanding and track your progress with quizzes specifically tailored to the learning content.

Your course includes free career coaching. As part of the career coaching, we offer job application training, open FAQ sessions and one-to-one job coaching with our HR specialist.

The training course is made available to you on our online learning platform. You can work through the course at your own pace, wherever you are. All you need for the practical work is an internet connection and a computer. All content is also accessible on the go via your mobile phone.

The teaching modules consist of approximately 1/5 theory and approximately 4/5 practical work. The theory component comprises the texts and videos provided, as well as the study of external learning materials and the assessment of learning outcomes via quizzes. The practical component includes hands-on work on a virtual project, your own final project (capstone project), the coaching sessions, and the documentation of your work results.

Please submit your sick note to the Agentur für Arbeit/Jobcenter. If you are unable to make up for this missed time, we will be happy to extend your training course free of charge, in consultation with your case worker. You will not lose any study time. Nothing will stand in the way of you successfully completing the course, despite your illness.
