ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING IN ELEVATOR CONSTRUCTION
Who is the target audience? Installation and maintenance personnel working in elevator construction Entry requirements Completed apprenticeship in a technically related trade (Chamber of Skilled Crafts) or a technical profession (Chamber of Industry and Commerce) OR Equivalent professional experience (at the employer's discretion) corresponding to 2 years of work experience in elevator technology
What topics are covered? Basic content for qualified electricians in elevator construction (32 units): -Electricity basics: Prerequisites, regulations; Physical principles of electricity; Direct current circuits, electric field, magnetic field Effects of electric current; Focus on direct current; Electrical components, technical applications. -Basic electrical training for qualified electricians: Summary of electrical basics; Focus on alternating current technology, introduction to measurement technology and circuit symbols and circuit diagram reading, practical measurement I: Basic electrical circuits; Electric current: Hazards, protection, first aid. -Self-study phase, in your own company (23 units): VFA worksheets on relevant standards, VDE regulations, DGUV regulations, and electrical engineering. Subsequent evaluation and discussion in the following in-person module: - Advanced content for qualified electricians in elevator construction (25 teaching units): Focus: Three-phase technology, three-phase circuits (reversing contactor, star-delta), practical measurement II: troubleshooting and measurement theory (VD), company-specific requirements; Electric current: hazards, protective measures, first aid; review, assessment of learning outcomes.
What qualification will I receive? A VFA certificate in cooperation with the BG ETEM (German Social Accident Insurance Institution for the Energy, Textile, Electrical and Media Products Industries). The employer can then order the certificate.
Who is the target group? All qualified electricians working in elevator construction for specific tasks – especially graduates of the corresponding VFA (Association of German Electrical Engineers) advanced training courses – who wish to refresh their theoretical knowledge because the maximum period of approximately three to five years recommended by the employers' liability insurance associations has elapsed since their last training. Note: This refresher course is designed to update existing technical knowledge and does not replace basic training as a qualified electrician for specific tasks.
