Train-the-Trainer Program (Ausbildung der Ausbilder)

The Training of Trainers “Ausbildung der Ausbilder (AdA) International” is a unique qualification concept, including certification, that enables trainers to plan, prepare, conduct and evaluate vocational training measures in their company. Based on the standards of the German Trainer Aptitude Ordinance (AEVO), it imparts important training know-how and pedagogic competencies. This is the highest international certification for trainers in the TVET sector accredited by the Association of German Chambers of Commerce and Industry DIHK.

Train-the-trainer Program

Well-qualified trainers are the cornerstone of quality education and the key determinant of the success of VET programs. This applies even more while implementing dual training courses that follow the German dual system. Trainers accompany apprentices on their career path and their personal development. This gives them a core responsibility: Not only do they play an important role in imparting knowledge and skills but they also function as a role model to the trainees.

 

This program offers two versions:

 

The full version (Category A) and the basic version (Category B), each tailored to meet different needs and adaptable to local contexts. Training can be delivered online, in-person, or through blended learning, based on participant and institutional preferences.



By standardizing vocational training and adhering to German standards, the AdA International program helps develop skilled workforces worldwide, making it a crucial resource for nations aiming to improve their vocational training standards.
