Technical system planner
The technical system planner has been a state-recognized training occupation in Germany according to the Vocational Training Act (BBiG) since August 1, 2011 . It replaces the training occupation of technical draftsman , whose training regulations date from 2000 and are out of date. Joint training regulations have been issued for this profession and the likewise reorganized technical product designer .
Duration of training and structure
The regular training period to become a technical system planner is 3½ years. Training takes place at the company and vocational school .
The previous disciplines were newly tailored. The field of "heating, air conditioning and sanitary technology" is found in the field of "supply and equipment technology". The field of steel and metal construction technology will be retained with updated content. The subject area "Electrical Engineering" is renamed "Electrotechnical Systems" and also receives new content. The fields of “wood technology” as well as “machine and plant engineering” were spun off from the new profession and added to the also reorganized “technical product designer”. Both professions have common training content with a duration of 12 months, whereby the common qualifications as well as other specific and subject-specific qualifications are imparted over the entire training period.
Areas of application
The Technical System Planner will be found depending on the chosen field of study in specific areas of application: The Department of Supply and equipment technology to design and planning offices of building and plant engineering addressed. The field of steel and metal construction is aimed at companies that carry out construction and planning work for steel , facade and metal construction . For companies that manufacture, assemble and operate building and plant engineering equipment, there is a specialization in "Electrotechnical Systems".
Objective structure of the profession
The training to become a technical system planner can be divided into three logical sections:
- joint integrative and joint professional profile qualifications,
- further professional qualifications,
- Professional qualifications in the fields.
The integrative qualifications include: vocational training, labor and collective bargaining law, structure and organization of the training company, safety and health protection at work. Environmental protection, application of information and communication technologies, work planning and organization, implementation of quality assurance measures, customer orientation.
The common qualifications are: creating and using technical documents, computer-aided design , differentiating between materials, differentiating between manufacturing processes and assembly techniques , performing calculations.
The other skills, knowledge and abilities that define the professional profile are: Assessment of materials and corrosion protection processes , assessment of assembly and joining processes , preparation of technical documents, preparation of sketches.
Finally, further professional skills, knowledge and abilities are imparted in the subject areas:
| Supply and equipment technology | Steel and metal construction technology | Electrotechnical systems |
|---|---|---|
| Creation of technical documents for the supply and equipment technology | Preparation of technical documents for steel and metal construction | Creation of technical documents for electrotechnical systems |
| Execution of detailed constructions | Design and construction | Performing calculations |
| Preparation of schematic and perspective representations | Consideration of building physics requirements | Assessment and application of system components |
| Preparation of technical documentation for supply and equipment technology | Performing calculations | Execution of detailed plans |
| Perform engineering calculations | Selection of manufacturing, assembly and joining processes | Preparation of schematic and perspective representations |
| Assessment of system components | Preparation of technical documentation |
Temporal structure of the profession
The temporal structure takes place in so-called time frames, in which qualifications from different occupational positions are to be imparted with one another. A time frame consists of a self-contained action, whereby the qualifications are taken up again in the course of the training period, but are then conveyed at a higher level.
final exam
An extended final exam takes place in this profession . The final examination is intended to determine whether the trainee has acquired the professional ability to act . He is supposed to prove “that he has mastered the necessary professional skills, has the necessary professional knowledge and skills and is familiar with the teaching material to be taught in vocational school, which is essential for vocational training. The training regulations are to be applied. ". The examination tasks are provided by the examination task and teaching material development center (PAL). The exam takes place in front of an IHK if the training takes place in an industrial company. If training is provided in a craft enterprise, the Chamber of Crafts is responsible for conducting the examination.
Part 1 of the final examination is weighted with 30% (specialization steel and metal construction technology 25%), part 2 with 70 (or 75%). Part 1 takes place before the end of the 2nd year of training; The content of the first to third semester of training is queried. In part 2 of the final examination, the company has a. the choice between an “operational order” and an “examination product”.
The technical system planner is the first occupation in which different examination requirements were formulated in Part 1 of the final examination. So far, occupations with internal differentiation and an extended final examination had identical examination requirements in Part 1; In part 2 there was a differentiation based on the professional profile.
Specializing in supply and equipment technology
The final examination consists of four examination areas:
| Exam area | weighting |
|---|---|
| Preparation of technical documents | 30 percent |
| Work order | 35 percent |
| System planning | 25 percent |
| Economics and Social Studies | 10 percent |
Examination area Preparation of technical documents
The test participant creates a technical drawing in five hours and answers tasks in writing in a further 120 minutes. In this test area, the test participant demonstrates that he is able to display the basic body in views, display components in views and sections , make sketches and dimension and supplement technical drawings in accordance with standards . He also shows that he can differentiate between materials and production and joining techniques and select and display component details with the help of parts lists and technical documents. This examination area is part 1 of the final examination.
Audit area work order
In this examination area, the trainee can fall back on the so-called "variant model". He can either create a “company order” or an “examination product”. When registering for the exam, the training company must choose one of the two options.
The same examination requirements are proven in both variants. The trainee must show that he can analyze work orders, obtain information, clarify technical and organizational interfaces and create technical drawings in compliance with the standards and regulations with a system diagram. Furthermore, he must show that he can create functional relationships and data sheets, carry out technical calculations, in particular thermal and aerodynamic calculations, determine characteristic data of system components taking noise and fire protection into account, take legal requirements into account, create production documents and material combinations, and select fastening systems. These requirements are broken down to an area in which the trainee has preferably been trained. You can choose from: heating technology , air conditioning technology and sanitary technology .
Regardless of the variant chosen (company order or examination product), the trainee has 40 hours to process these requirements, including the creation of documentation. He presents his results to the examination board in a maximum of 10 minutes and then conducts a technical discussion lasting a maximum of 20 minutes.
Examination area system planning
The trainee shows that he creates sketches or system diagrams or material excerpts, creates spreadsheets and data sheets taking into account the standards and guidelines, determines system components according to product documents, in particular design diagrams, and carries out thermal and fluidic calculations. He must also prove that he can calculate efficiencies , determine properties of liquid and gaseous media and create sketches or functional diagrams. In order to provide this evidence, he works on written tasks in a maximum of 180 minutes.
Examination area economics and social studies
The exam participant completes written tasks in 60 minutes. He proves that he can present and assess general economic and social relationships in the professional and working world. This examination area is identical in all three subjects.
Passage regulation
The examination is passed if the overall results of parts 1 and 2 of the final examination are at least "sufficient", in the work assignment examination area with at least "sufficient", in the result of part 2 of the final examination with at least "sufficient" and in at least one of the others Examination areas of Part 2 of the final examination have been rated with at least "sufficient". Furthermore, no examination area of Part 2 of the final examination may have been rated “unsatisfactory”.
Oral supplementary examination
An oral supplementary examination of around 15 minutes is possible in the examination areas "System Planning" or "Economics and Social Studies" if the final examination can be passed. The prerequisite is that these examination areas were rated worse than "sufficient". A supplementary oral examination to improve the grade is not possible. The result of this oral examination is included in the existing result with 2: 1.
Specializing in steel and metal construction technology
The final examination consists of four examination areas:
| Exam area | weighting |
|---|---|

The pass regulations correspond to the field of supply and equipment technology. The same applies to the requirements for the oral supplementary examination. It is possible in the examination areas “building construction” or “economics and social studies”.
Electrical systems specialization
The final examination consists of four examination areas:
| Exam area | weighting |
|---|---|
| Preparation of technical documents | 30 percent |
| Work order | 35 percent |
| System planning | 25 percent |
| Economics and Social Studies | 10 percent |
Examination area Preparation of technical documents
The test participant creates a technical drawing in five hours and answers tasks in writing in a further 120 minutes. The examination requirements are similar to those in the field of supply and equipment engineering, but electrotechnical documents are to be processed here, specifically the training regulations say: "Remove and change technical documents for installation technology". This examination area is part 1 of the final examination.
Audit area work order
In this examination area, the trainee can also fall back on a "variant model". The trainee must show that he can analyze work orders, obtain information, clarify technical and organizational interfaces, create technical drawings in compliance with standards and regulations with overview circuit diagrams and circuit diagrams and create functional relationships and data sheets . Furthermore, he must show that he can carry out calculations, in particular cross-section and performance calculations, determine characteristic data of system components taking into account safety, fire protection and soundproofing aspects, take legal provisions into account, create assembly sketches and material extracts, select fastening systems and create documentation. Special areas are not planned here. Evidence is provided in the same way as in the field of supply and equipment technology.
Examination area system planning
In 180 minutes, the trainee shows by working on written tasks that he can calculate illuminance levels, perform cross-section and performance calculations, draw circuit diagrams and installation plans, create overview plans and create sketches or functional diagrams or material extracts. In order to provide this evidence, he works on written tasks in a maximum of 180 minutes.
Pass regulations and oral supplementary examination
The best regulations correspond to the other two disciplines. The same applies to the requirements for the oral supplementary examination. It is possible in the examination areas "System Planning" or "Economics and Social Studies".
Discussion about the duration of the training
The technical draftsman has existed since 1993 as a dual training occupation with a training duration of 3½ years. A review of the contents showed that there is a need in this profession to change the training regulations due to changed technological developments. It turned out that the new content "leads to large overlaps with the content of the existing training occupation of technical product designer ". Merging the professions was therefore a logical consequence. This profession, however, only emerged in 2005 as a three-year apprenticeship. The question therefore arose as to which training period should be chosen for the new profession. The Vocational Training Act states with regard to the duration of training that it “should not be more than three and not less than two years”. A training period of three years, for example, met with criticism from IG Metall , which three and a half years was necessary due to the technical depth considered. At the same time, weaker students should also be given the opportunity to get an apprenticeship in this profession. After lengthy negotiations, an agreement was reached on a training period of 3½ years for both professions. However, the training regulations were limited to five years until August 1, 2016 in order to carry out an evaluation of the professions with regard to the suitable training period during this time.
Others
The Federal Institute for Vocational Training is planning an implementation aid for the construction professions in order to “support practical implementation in in-company training”. The publication is planned for the first quarter of 2012.
