Vehicle technology and production training courses
Vehicle mechatronics expert - communications technics
       
   
   
       
    Automotive technology is in a state of continual development. The simple systems of the past have nowadays evolved into highly-developed technology which accommodates the requirements for passenger safety, the environment and "The Ultimate Driving Machine" in equal measures. Expert allrounders with wide-ranging knowledge are required for the development, manufacture, repair and quality assurance of these vehicles. Highly-modernised workshops and facilities provide technicians with a challenging environment. In addition to routine checks, troubleshooting also creates new challenges on a daily basis.

The car electromechanic gains a comprehensive insight into the constituent parts of modern technology - mechanics, hydraulics, pneumatics, electrics and electronics - through familiarisation with functional checks, installation and removal procedures as well as repairs to all vehicle components. Once the training has been completed, specialisation within sub-areas is possible, for example in development, research, quality assurance and fitting.

The vehicle mechatronics expert with a focus on vehicle communication technology deals with the complex interplay of electronic and mechanical components in vehicles. The expert works with diagnostics systems, software updates and a multitude of measurement and testing devices. Knowledge of electrically controlled systems as well as knowledge of information and communication technology specific to BMW are also of great importance.
