The training program to become an information technology specialist specializing in systems integration is organized as part of Germany's dual system of vocational training. This means that trainees take theoretical classes at a vocational school (it.schule stuttgart, Stuttgart-Möhringen) in blocks (6-7 times per school year for 2 weeks at a time).
In the remaining time, practical and theoretical skills are acquired at the workplace.
Trainees progress through the following departments and institutions:
- Information Systems
- IT Infrastructure
- IT Security Management
- IT Supprt, Clienet and Identity Management
- Communication, e-learning and Print
- Business and Finance: Central Purchasing
Trainees progress through these departments / institutions in intervals of one or more months.
During their training, trainees attend in-house seminars to supplement their vocational school education and to enhance their hands-on learning.
The final examination consists of two parts.
Part 1 tis taken in the fourth training semester, and part 2 at the end of the training program. The IHK Stuttgart determines the respective date.
Part 1 of the final examination covers the skills, knowledge, and abilities of the occupational profile positions as well as the subject matter to be taught in the vocational school curriculum for the first 18 months as specified in the training framework for the first 18 months.
For System Integration, part 2 of the final examination covers the skills, knowledge, and abilities of the occupational profile positions as well as the subject matter to be taught in the vocational school curriculum as specified in the training framework. Skills, knowledge, and abilities that were already the subject of Part 1 of the final examination should only be included here to the extent necessary for the determination of vocational ability.
