The DHBW Center for Advanced Studies (CAS) is a renowned, state-recognised educational institution in Heilbronn. It is one of the most important further education institutions in the region and is particularly known for its practical orientation and strong corporate partnerships.

We will announce the start of the application process and the start of the programme here on our website in advance. 

The duration of the qualification is usually around 5 to 6 months.

The qualification can be divided into 5 phases:

Onboarding phase: In the introductory phase, you will receive a comprehensive overview of Bechtle as an employer, your responsible company and the FIT programme.

University phase: This is followed by a 5-6-week intensive university phase to deepen your knowledge.

Academy training: The subsequent Academy training sessions are specialised and geared towards your focus and track.

On-the-job training phase: This is where you apply the skills you have learnt in the workplace.

Final event: After 5 months of intensive development, a final event at the Bechtle headquarter rounds off the programme.

Lectures and seminars are held both as face-to-face events and virtually.

Travel and training costs are covered by the employing company.
As a rule, participants receive a lump sum for additional subsistence expenses or can claim these costs back via tax. This means that there are no costs for the participants.

The remuneration varies depending on the location and the experience of the participants both during and after the qualification. This is already determined in the permanent employment contract before the start of the programme.

You will sign an employment contract (usually for an indefinite period) with the hiring Bechtle subsidiary before starting the qualification programme. After completing the qualification, you will receive a confirmation of participation from the university and a programme certificate from Bechtle. This is the starting point for applying the knowledge you have acquired in practice and getting off to a flying start as a career changer at Bechtle.  

If you leave within 24 months of qualifying, a pro-rata repayment of the training costs will be made.
