School managers have to deal with many people interested in education and have a lot of background information about various training and further education courses. In an interview with Regula Meister from the EBZ Adult Education Center, for example, we were able to find out more about the further education course in technical business management with a federal certificate. We don't want to withhold these insights from you.
My name is Regula Meister, I have been head of the EBZ Adult Education Center Solothurn-Grenchen since August 2019. I am also the course director of the further education course "Caretaker with federal FA" and currently the course director of the course "Technical Businesswoman / Technical Businessman with federal FA". I teach in various areas to stay on the ball. We are currently working with teams on "online teaching", which is an exciting challenge.
How do I manage the EBZ and what is important to me?
After completing my basic pedagogical training, I went on to complete further training in teaching and technical business management. This training gave me a sound insight into business management contexts. In my role as head of the Feusi training centers in Solothurn and Olten at the time, I was able to put what I had learned into practice 1:1 in the areas of IT, marketing, management and much more. This training also provided me with a wonderful foundation for my further training as a business economist FH. After a few years as a professional inspector, I am now working in the education sector again and am also training to become a qualified adult educator HF.
