Electronics technicians for devices and systems (Apprenticeship)

About the apprenticeship

Training as an electronics technician for devices and systems takes 3 years. You will attend vocational school alongside your apprenticeship that will prepare you for your interim and final written examination. You will attend the Friedrich-Ebert school in Wiesbaden. You have the opportunity to shorten the duration of your apprenticeship by getting good grades in school, as well as a good evaluation at work.

In the course of your training you will learn how to:

• operate machines (mounting/printing/soldering)
• set up reels on feeders
• optimize and program
• search for and rectify faults (soldering)

When your apprenticeship starts

Your apprenticeship will start on August 1. You'll get to know the other trainees at the traditional “trainee lunch”, where you'll also receive all the organizational information you’ll need to know for your time with us. Of course, you’ll also get to know the team from your first training station.

What your typical day of training will look like

Your training will consist of a combination of theory and practice: At school, you’ll learn the theoretical background knowledge you need for your profession and for the IHK final examination. In the practice portion of your training, you’ll support your department in all job-related tasks (except making coffee).

In the course of your training you will gain experience in all production-related departments:

• SMD production
• Final assembly
• Final testing
• Test area
• Outgoing goods inspection
• Dispatch
• Hardware
• IT

You’ll also gain valuable insights into the industry in general at our trade fairs, and you’ll have the opportunity at trainee fairs to share with others the benefits of your apprenticeship with us.
During the final months of your apprenticeship, you'll be placed in your specialist department. This is where you’ll consolidate your knowledge, work independently on projects and thoroughly prepare for your final oral exam. In most cases, the specialist department is the department in which our apprentices would like to work after completing their apprenticeship. But we’ll work together with you in choosing the specialist department that’s right for you.
