Area of ​​application (vocational training)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A field of application is a differentiation option for state-recognized training occupations , which consists of an in-depth phase of up to 12 months.

scope of application

The use of operational areas is the weakest form of internal differentiation in an occupation. It is an implicit differentiation that is not taken into account in either the training framework or the final examination . It is conceivable, however, that the area of ​​application serves as the "thematic basis for the examination tasks to be decided by the examination boards".

Areas of application are usually characterized by very openly formulated professional positions that have to be filled with content by the respective company. They serve to show specialized companies “that they too can train in their specific business field. At the same time, this gives the trainees the opportunity to acquire specific professional experience in the respective field of work ”. Professions with areas of application are, for example, industrial metal professions, e.g. B. the plant mechanic or the tool mechanic .

Differentiation from other differentiation options

  • Single occupation: Professions that have no internal differentiation are referred to as single occupations. The qualification profile of the profession does not show any specialization.
  • Specialization : They are described in the training regulations for the respective training occupation and last from six to a maximum of 18 months.
  • Focus : The use of focus areas represents the second strongest form of internal differentiation in an occupation after the subject area. This is an implicit differentiation. In the case of a three-year training occupation with a focus, the first two years of training are usually identical. After 24 months, i.e. H. In the third year of training, the specific skills, knowledge and abilities of the respective industry take place.
  • Elective qualifications : They come into consideration as a structural element in particular for apprenticeships that are in demand by specialized industries. Each of these companies works on a different range of tasks. The companies can combine various qualifications in individual areas by using elective qualifications. Elective qualifications are taken into account in the apprenticeship profile, in the general training plan and in the exams. Their duration is between six and 18 months.
