A special preparatory course for training in the field of geodesy is offered for officer candidates for the career of officers in the military technical service (OffzMilFD) .
Organization of lessons
Initially, the lessons were carried out during working hours. From 1966 onwards, classes took place after the end of the service period and in a semester rhythm, which meant that the schools could plan more reliably. This system still exists today.
Organizational subordination and recognition of qualifications
Subject to the BwFachS
The Bundeswehr technical schools are subordinate local authorities to the Bundeswehr Education Center and were taken over from its division on January 1, 2013 with the dissolution of the Federal Office for Defense Administration (BAWV) . The technical supervision of the Bundeswehr technical schools is exercised on the one hand by the Bundeswehr Education Center and the Federal Ministry of Defense and on the other hand by the responsible school supervisory authority of the federal state in which the Bundeswehr technical school is located. This ensures that, due to the sole responsibility of the federal states in school and educational matters, the school-leaving qualifications acquired at the Bundeswehr technical schools are recognized nationwide. Professional qualifications are awarded in accordance with chamber law by the locally responsible Chamber of Commerce and Industry or the Chamber of Crafts .
Subordinate service to the course participants
The soldiers who are commanded or transferred to a BwFachS in BFD training and active soldiers are subordinate to the local Bundeswehr technical school care center (BwFachSBetrSt). The BwFachSBetrSt is an agency subordinate to the respective regionally responsible state command. The BwFachSBetrSt Berlin is an exception. This is not subordinate to the Territorial Tasks Command (KdoTerrAufgBw), but to the Brandenburg State Command (LKdo BB).
