Talk to an Expert

As an electronics technician, you develop and implement electronic circuits and computer programs. You work in a team with other specialists. Processing orders and projects, monitoring manufacturing processes for electronic products, creating technical documents such as development reports - these are just some of your tasks.

Electronics technicians also manufacture electronic devices or systems, carry out measuring and testing work and are responsible for commissioning and maintenance.

The in-company training consists on the one hand of a basic training, which is broadly based, and on the other hand of an in-depth training in at least two fields of activity. The choice of the fields of activity depends on our possibilities and your inclinations and abilities.
