Tipps und Entscheidungshilfen für die Ausbildungswahl

Have you been working in the technical field or even in the field of heating and building technology for at least four years, do you have a federal certificate as a head heating fitter or comparable further training and would you like to advance your career? Complete further training to become a master heating engineer, which concludes with a federal diploma (higher professional examination). This further training course used to be called heating fitter, but now has the same content, career prospects and requirements.

As a federally certified master heating engineer, you are qualified to take on a management position in a company or even independently take over a company in the heating sector. In this management position, you will no longer have to do as much manual work as before. This is because your tasks focus on successfully managing the company. This includes personnel management, but also customer care and positioning your company on the market. In addition to these important tasks, you are also responsible for finance. You keep an overview of financial accounting and use it skillfully as a management tool. However, you are also technically on top form and know exactly what your teams are doing and where, enabling you to skilfully coordinate the various areas.

Complete the further training course to become a master heating engineer and qualify for interesting management positions. The course lasts around one and a half years and includes the following subjects, among others: Professional knowledge, applied legal issues, work organization, company management, personnel management, finance, project planning and marketing. You can obtain detailed information on this further training directly from the relevant schools. Contact the individual training institutes that interest you and have all the important documents for the HFP Heating Master Craftsman or Heating Master Craftswoman sent to you free of charge.
