Description of the training
Precision optician
The processing of glass, rough cast optical glass and crystals into lenses, prisms and mirrors using precision measuring instruments and machines is taught during the apprenticeship, which lasts three-and-a-half years. Fundamental background information is also provided about scientific and mathematical subjects, optical production and instruments, quality assurance and production planning.
Electroplater
Anodisation, electroplating and painting as well as other processes for the surface treatment of parts produced individually or in series are taught in particular detail by our electroplating and painting department, which is designed to meet the latest environmental requirements.
Clerical assistant
We provide varied all-round training. The apprentices spend time in the departments that are relevant to an industrial company, so that they are familiarised with all the commercial operations at the company. An insight is also given into technical processes.
Industrial mechanic
Special field: machine and precision mechanics
Industrial mechanics who have finished an apprenticeship in machine and precision mechanics, which lasts three-and-a-half years, must be able to read, interpret and implement factory instructions, technical drawings, work instructions and work plans. During their vocational training, they acquire sound know-how about and skills in metalworking, such as manual and machine clamping, separating, shaping and joining, as well as in the assembly and disassembly of optical components.
Computer science
Computer science apprentices are deployed in many different commercial departments during their three years of training. As contacts for the user departments and for the implementation of information and telecommunications systems, they help staff to apply systems for carrying out commercial assignments and are involved in projects to plan, adapt and introduce EDP systems.
Business management (vocational academy)
Anyone who would like to gain practical work experience right after obtaining university / polytechnic entrance qualifications has an attractive alternative to a university / polytechnic degree: business management training at the vocational academy in Göttingen as a member of our company. A two-year apprenticeship as a clerical assistant is completed alongside this training course, which takes a total of three years. The students are deployed in commercial departments in the third year of the course.
Polytechnic degree in physical, precision mechanical /
manufacturing engineering
This degree course is completed on a sandwich basis at Hildesheim / Holzminden / Göttingen Polytechnic in Göttingen and lasts eight terms. It is divided up into practical phases at the company and teaching at the Polytechnic. During the practical phases at the company, an apprenticeship in precision optics is completed alongside the degree course. Engineering projects are also carried out during the main course of study.
Main content of the degree course:
Physical engineering - Training in physical engineering disciplines, with the emphasis on technical optics, laser engineering, environmental engineering and solid- state physics
Precision mechanical engineering
- Training in the development, design and production of mechanical, electrical, electronic and optical products
Precision manufacturing engineering - Training in manufacturing and testing technologies, with the emphasis on optics and mechanics
- Obtainment of know-how about and skills in the production of high-quality precision optical and mechanical parts and systems to satisfy the most demanding of accuracy requirements
