Training

With extensive and modern production machines (e.g. CNC lathes, CNC milling machines), we are well positioned to teach the skills and knowledge required for the profession today and in the future. During the apprenticeship, additional courses are held for welding, CNC technology, pneumatics/hydraulics and others. The technical theoretical knowledge is expanded in an in-service course at Leibniz University in addition to the vocational school instruction. Our trainers see themselves as partners of the trainees. The teaching of the training qualifications is creative (own design and drawings, also on the PC) and practical. 

Since 2003, the Computing Center of Leibniz University (LUIS) has been training IT specialists in the field of system integration. With the start of the 2016/17 training year, the Institute for Turbomachinery and Fluid Dynamics also trained in the extensive field of IT system integration for the first time. The institute has also successfully trained apprentices in metalworking professions for many years.

The training is based on the dual principle, i.e. we take care of the operational part and the vocational school takes care of the academic part. The vocational school takes place in blocks about every six weeks for two weeks at a time. The examinations are administered by the Hanover Chamber of Industry and Commerce (IHK-Hannover).

The Institute for Turbomachinery and Fluid Dynamics offers the best training opportunities due to the heterogeneous system landscape (Windows, Linux as client and server operating system, but also embedded devices). Besides the basic knowledge in installation and administration of the above mentioned systems, the end user support as well as the learning of different script languages (PHP/Bash/Perl/PowerShell) and an introduction to programming languages like C are part of the training. Furthermore, knowledge of network technology, IT security (certificates and encryption, firewall) etc. is of course also taught. In addition, there is the possibility to attend appropriate courses on various topics at the computer center of Leibniz Universität Hannover.

It is ideal for your application as an IT specialist trainee if you already have or have had initial experience in dealing with data processing systems. For example, you have solved problems with computers belonging to acquaintances or relatives, or you look after the computers in a club, for example, or maintain a club homepage. We expect applicants to be able to familiarize themselves with a topic independently and to have good working and social skills.
