Technical industry manager
Certified technical industrial manager is an advanced training qualification from the German Chamber of Commerce and Industry (DIHK), which is state-recognized and protected. Like the Certified Technical Business Economist , the Certified Business Economist and the Certified Vocational Pedagogue, he belongs to the third level of the IHK advanced training system.
description
Technical industry managers have competencies in the areas of management , operations management, maintenance , technical sales, commissioning , development and process management . You strategically position the business fields of a company on the market, taking technological developments into account, and develop them further. You will develop technical solutions in the areas of design, production, assembly, maintenance and services and take on technological consulting tasks. You analyze product-specific project and process structures.
The advanced training to become a technical industrial manager is a technology-oriented alternative to a technical business economist who is more focused on management tasks.

C) project work
Technical industry managers submit a project paper as a written term paper. Here they combine technical skills with training content. There is also a technical discussion on the topic dealt with in the project work.
Admission requirement
A successfully passed examination to become an industrial foreman or a comparable technical master’s examination or a successfully passed state-recognized examination to become a technician
or
a successfully passed exam to become a certified technical specialist (IHK)
or
a successfully completed technical university degree with at least two years of relevant professional experience
Training duration
There is no obligation to attend a preparatory course. The recommended hours of the Bavarian IHKs is 1088 teaching hours. Full-time courses last about a year, part-time up to 30 months.
Skill level
The DQR places the technical industrial manager at level 7 and evaluates the degree as being equivalent to the master’s degree in terms of its level of aspiration.
The DQR is only indicative and does not influence university admission regulations. As an example, the University of Oldenburg evaluates comparable qualifications in conjunction with their required qualifications as a total of up to three semesters of part-time Bachelor's degree.
further education
The strategic professional is currently the top level of the IHK advanced training system and further qualification at the IHK is therefore currently not available. The German qualifications framework expressly provides for the competence to "develop innovative solutions and processes in a professional field" as an alternative to a doctorate and as equivalent to this, but the IHKs currently do not offer such a "technically innovative industrial manager" in the advanced training system.
Analogous to the technical specialist, the political equivalence to the master's only has an effect on collective bargaining classifications, the academic evaluation (general university entrance qualification) does not change. This means that it is not possible to apply for a doctoral degree or for a normal master’s degree, only entry into an undergraduate degree. The technical industry manager is credited individually by the universities.
An exception are the master’s courses of the IHK Akademie Westerham in cooperation with Danube University Krems , which are specifically aimed at graduates at the further education level IHK business economist or technical business economist and operational IT professionals. The course ends with a Master of Science (MSc) - Management and IT, or Master of Business Administration (MBA) degree.
