Welche Arten der Lehrstelle Informatiker gibt es? Was sind die Unterschiede zwischen Informatiker EFZ Systemtechnik, Informatiker EFZ Applikationsentwicklung und Informatiker EFZ Betriebsinformatik?
What types of IT apprenticeship are there? What are the differences between Federal VET Diploma computer scientist in systems engineering, Federal VET Diploma computer scientist in application development and Federal VET Diploma computer scientist in business informatics?
The Federal VET Diploma computer scientist develops, implements, installs, operates and maintains IT solutions. However, the area of responsibility differs depending on the chosen specialization of the computer scientist apprenticeship:
- Federal VET Diploma computer scientists in systems engineering (renamed "platform development" from 2021) are responsible for setting up and maintaining IT systems. They select suitable hardware and software and install PC workstations, printers and servers. They are responsible for constant availability, data backup and network security and rectify faults.
- Federal VET Diploma application development computer scientists are software specialists and implement software solutions for products and processes (e.g. programming a navigation system or a materials management system). To do this, they need the ability to understand the business processes of different industries and to analyze customer requirements.
- Federal VET Diploma computer scientists develop different technical specializations in this field. After analyzing problems, they create solution proposals using IT tools. They install servers and ICT networks, monitor them and ensure their further development. From 2020, business informatics will no longer be a specialization of the IT apprenticeship, but an independent apprenticeship as a Federal VET Diploma business IT specialist.
