The contents of the training:

For industrial salespersons, we have a flexible schedule for the training, i.e. there is no fixed sequence of when you learn which subjects. Every apprentice is guaranteed to become familiar with all relevant divisions of the company with their respective tasks and activities – only the succession of your path through the company may be different.

The finance department deals with invoicing of costs and services, the purchase of goods and work equipment and of course accounting. In the legal department, for example, you will learn about the various legal forms and structures of companies with their requirements and obligations. In the marketing department, you will deal with corporate communications such as advertising, PR, sales promotion and the like. Presentation techniques also play a role in this context. And in the human resources department, you will learn everything you need to know about employees, advanced trainings and the promotion of young talent.

In addition to theory, you will experience the real world of everyday life in all departments and you will become familiar with the tasks and challenges you have to deal with and how great it feels when a project is successfully completed.

In the second year of training, you will take an intermediate examination. In the third year, you will work on a slightly more extensive technical task on a specific subject are, which you will discuss individually with your trainer. Once you have completed all this successfully and had fun in the process, the only thing waiting for you is the final exam, for which we will prepare you well.
