The Federal College for Business Administration in the Motor Vehicle Industry e. V. (BFC) is a private technical school in Northeim , Lower Saxony . In terms of school law, it is a state-recognized supplementary school.
Support and support association
The BFC is a non-profit organization. The sponsors are the Central Association of the German Motor Vehicle Industry (ZDK) and the regional motor vehicle associations.
The BFC Friends Association was founded in February 1980 and today has more than 200 members.

history
Adelbert Moll (1907 to 1995) created commercial training after the apprenticeship especially for the next generation in the automotive industry. On September 1, 1963, the first year began with 26 students in two classes as a branch of the private higher commercial school in Calw (Spöhrerschule). In the 1960s the branch's weight at the school grew.
In 1966 the above-mentioned association took over the sponsorship of the school, and in 1979 the regional associations of the ZDK joined the sponsoring association, which led to the school being converted into a technical college for motor vehicles. In 1981 and 1982 the new school building in Calw was built. From then on, the institution operated as the Federal College for Business Administration in the Motor Vehicle Industry (BFC).
After German reunification, the BFC launched special courses in 1990 for motor vehicle entrepreneurs from the area of the former GDR . In the following year the cooperation with the US American Northwood University began. In 1994 a second training building was added in Northeim. A year later, the BFC was certified according to ISO 9001 for the planning and implementation of further training in the automotive industry. Both school locations were merged in Northeim in 2012.
