Apprenticeship - Mechatronics Technician

In your 3.5-year apprenticeship as a mechatronics technician, you will develop into a specialist in maintenance. You will acquire theoretical knowledge and practical skills in metalworking and electrical engineering, as well as fundamentals in control technology, hydraulics, and pneumatics. Measuring and testing procedures and programming PLC controls are also part of your training content. You will develop core competencies not only for planning and installation, but also for commissioning and maintenance of mechanical and electrical systems, as well as for control and drive technology. You will learn to read technical plans, combine assemblies and components into machines and systems, understand the functionality of programmed mechatronic systems and their configuration. Your further areas of application include the elimination of mechatronic faults and the optimization of mechatronic systems. Your practical training takes place at the Bon Gelati site in Übach-Palenberg, and your theoretical knowledge is taught during regular vocational school lessons at the Mies van der Rohe School in Aachen.
