Mining technologist
The mining technologist is a German, state-recognized training occupation in accordance with the Vocational Training Act .
Duration of training
The training period to become a mining technologist is usually three years. The training takes place at the training company and vocational school .
Training allowance
The training allowance in Germany differs significantly in some places in the individual federal states. In addition, it is crucial whether the training company is a company that is bound by collective bargaining agreements or not. The average training allowance for the profession of mining technologist in Germany is € 728 in the first year, € 819 in the second and € 907 in the third year of training.
history
As of August 1, 2009, the profession replaces the apprenticeship as a mountain mechanic from December 19, 1989 (Federal Law Gazette I. S 2502). As a result of technological change, the comprehensive basics of metalworking that were previously taught were no longer required. The duration of the training has therefore been reduced from 3.5 years to three years. With the new job title (from 'mechanic' to 'technologist'), this change should also be reflected externally.
Structure of the profession
The training occupation has the two fields of civil engineering and deep drilling technology. In the field of civil engineering, the updated content of the apprenticeship as a mining mechanic has been incorporated. With the deep drilling technology specialization, new industries can now train themselves: For example, companies that install geothermal systems have so far not had a tailor-made apprenticeship.
Work areas
Mining technologists specializing in civil engineering carry out mining work in underground and surface mining. Your jobs can be found e.g. B. in potash and rock salt mining, in ore mining or in hard coal mining. Mining technologists specializing in deep drilling work e.g. B. in deep drilling companies - preferably above ground.

Vocational schools
The trainees visit z. B. the vocational school in the district of Ohrekreis in Haldensleben or the state vocational school center in Sondershausen in Thuringia. The general school curriculum for mining technologists applies to trainees.
Employment of women
Up until now, women were generally not allowed to be employed in underground mining. There were exceptions B. if an internship had to be completed. With the third SME Relief Act of March 17, 2009, the Federal Mining Act was changed in Article 16a. With the abolition of Section 64a of the Federal Mining Act, women can now also learn this training and then be employed in underground mining.
Occasionally women have already started training (as of 2011).
final exam
The professional competence in this occupation is proven by an extended final examination .
The final examination in civil engineering consists of a total of five examination areas:
- Examination area "assembly technology"
