Start of the BeSTeR in-service training program

The exclusive advanced training course started on September 16th, 2024! The offer is a pioneering cooperation between the Fraunhofer FEP and SBG Dresden and includes advanced training to become a “Certified Professional Specialist (m/f/d) for Industrial Parts Cleaning - BeSTeR”.

On September 16th, 2024, the first round of the newly designed and exclusive advanced training course to become a “Professional specialist for industrial parts cleaning (m/f/d)” began. The course started with one week of attendance for three participants in Dresden, followed by phases of 3 hours of online teaching per week and self-study phases.

Participants can now expect comprehensive training that addresses the increasing relevance of industrial parts cleaning for the entire process chain and focuses on a sound understanding of the fundamentals of industrial parts cleaning and the practical mastery of relevant skills, as even the smallest impurities on components can significantly impair the functionality of later products.

The next attendance week will take place at the end of November, followed by two practical weeks - one in Dresden in January and one in Stuttgart in February. After further practical parts and the completion of project work in the participants' companies, they will then obtain the IHK qualification at DQR level 5 by summer 2025 with final examinations in June and August.

The training program is an innovative collaboration between Fraunhofer FEP and SBG Dresden. We wish the participants a good start and successful participation as well as many interesting discussions that should contribute to the deepening of knowledge and concrete solutions to the challenges of the participants in their workplace!
