Subject (vocational training)
A subject is a differentiation option for state-recognized training occupations . Subjects are described in the training regulations for the respective training occupation and range from six to a maximum of 18 months.
scope of application
The use of disciplines is the strongest form of internal differentiation in an occupation. It is an implicit differentiation. Subjects are often used when there are industry-specific features.
In the case of a three-year training occupation with specializations, the first two training years are usually identical. In the third year, the specific skills, knowledge and abilities of the respective industry take place. The apprenticeship as a surveyor knows, for example, the two fields of 'surveying' and 'mountain surveying'. The subject areas are taken into account both in the apprenticeship profile , in the training framework and in the final exams . Subjects are therefore shown in the job title as well as in the examination certificate or the journeyman's certificate .
Differentiation from other differentiation options
Monoberuf
Professions that do not have any internal differentiation are called mono- professions . The qualification profile of the profession does not show any specialization. A 'quasi-internal differentiation' can be achieved by formulating the training content as technically neutral as possible.
Elective qualifications
Elective qualifications come into consideration as a structural element, especially 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. A selection list is available to them in accordance with the requirements of the training regulations (e.g. three elective qualifications out of nine).
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.
Elective qualifications can also be combined with subject areas. For example, the apprenticeship printer has specialist fields and, within the specialist fields, elective qualifications.
Profession with focus
Another implicit differentiation is a training occupation with focal points. In the second and third year of training, modular content is offered in the scope of (as a rule) six to a maximum of twelve months of the entire training period. Priorities are only taken into account in the general training plan and in the exams. Examples of professions with a focus are machine and system operators or building material inspectors .
Profession with areas of application
A field of application represents the weakest form of internal differentiation. Here the training is deepened in one or more fields of application for a maximum of 12 months. The area of application can be taken into account in the examination. Professions with areas of application are, for example, industrial metal professions, e.g. B. the plant mechanic or the tool mechanic .
