Brauche ich für die Berufsprüfung zum Instandhaltungsfachmann einen bestimmten Lehrabschluss?
Do I need a specific apprenticeship qualification for the professional examination to become a maintenance specialist?
In principle, you do not need a specific apprenticeship qualification for the professional examination for maintenance specialists. Access to the federal examination is possible in two ways: with and without a basic technical apprenticeship with an EFZ, i.e. a federal certificate of competence.
If you have completed a basic technical apprenticeship with an EFZ, you must provide proof of an additional two years of technical professional experience in the field of maintenance following your apprenticeship.
If you have another basic education, you have six years of technical work experience, two of which are in maintenance.
If you have a foreign qualification, SERI (State Secretariat for Education, Research and Innovation) will decide on admission to the federal examination for maintenance specialists with a federal certificate.
