Contents/ learning areas:
Carpenters are taught next to the classes in subject theory and general education subjects especially in the first year of training a practical education in modern bank- and machine rooms. To this are not only counting the traditional timber joints like marking, slotting and tapping but also the CNC machining centre offers for the further training to the carpenter in the modern cabinetry an abundance of practical capabilities. Furthermore the students get trained on the woodworking machines like format circular saw, circular saw bench etc. With the machine certificate TSM1 they get the qualification to operate these machines independently. The first year of training takes normally place as full time classes in a year of vocational preparation. In exceptional cases and in agreement with the school and the firm this also can be effected as a dual apprenticeship. The second and third year of training always takes place as a dual apprenticeship (1.5 days school, 3.5 days firm). Especially in the second and third year of training students can produce constructions of work pieces over the screen with the aid of equivalent CAD software. Another advantage of this technology is the possibility of simulation of production processes on the screen to test CNC programming for errors already before the start of production.
