Understanding vocational training - acquiring skills for the management level

The German vocational education and training system is complex, efficient and central to securing skilled workers in the economy and society. Anyone who takes on responsibility in education, politics or administration must understand how vocational training processes are managed, how they are created and which structures shape them.

With this university certificate, you will acquire systematic knowledge of the framework conditions, institutions and development trends in vocational education and training, both nationally and at European level.

Managing vocational education and training in Germany and Europe

The certificate focuses on the central structural elements, institutions and influencing factors of the German vocational training system. You will learn how vocational training processes are organized, which regulatory tools and theories they are based on and which functions the vocational concept assumes in this context.

A special focus is placed on the various forms of vocational education and training, from dual training to school-based and higher education pathways. You will also examine current developments such as increasing academization and growing permeability within the system.

In addition, you will acquire knowledge of European management instruments such as the European and German Qualifications Framework (EQF, DQR) and the ECVET credit point system. These instruments are becoming increasingly important when it comes to comparability, transparency and mobility in vocational education and training, both in Germany and across Europe.
