Lass dich nicht blenden von deiner Schule - Industriemeister (IHK)

Summary

The video discusses key considerations for becoming an Industrial Master in Electrical Engineering in Germany, focusing on the choice between two specializations: T1 (Operational Technology) and T2 (Automation Technology). It explains that both tracks overlap in some areas but have distinct focuses, such as circuit analysis for T1 and automation systems for T2. The speaker emphasizes the importance of knowing what each training provider offers, as choosing the wrong course can lead to problems in exams. The video also highlights the need to decide on the specialization during the exam registration, not at the course start.

Takeaways

• 🔌 The Industriemeister Elektrotechnik program has two subcategories: T1 (Betriebstechnik) and T2 (Automatisierungstechnik).
• 🛠 T1 focuses on topics like circuit analysis, motor calculations, lighting calculations, and cabling.
• 🤖 T2 emphasizes automation, including SPS (programmable logic controllers), control technology, network addresses, and bus systems.
• 📜 On your final certificate, it will only say Industriemeister Elektrotechnik, not specifying whether you specialized in T1 or T2.
• 🧑‍🏫 You can choose between T1 and T2 based on your previous work experience or training. The final decision is made at the time of exam registration.
• 💡 Both T1 and T2 contain some overlap in exam topics, so familiarity with both can be beneficial.
• 📧 A warning from a student named Matthias: he had problems because his school only taught T2, but he had to take the T1 exam.
• ☎️ It’s essential to check with the school before enrolling to ensure they teach both T1 and T2 to avoid issues like Matthias faced.
• 📊 Some students have complained about recent T1 exams being too similar to T2, leading to dissatisfaction.
• 📖 To determine which path (T1 or T2) is best for you, review old IHK exams to get a feel for the topics and decide based on your strengths.

Q & A

What is the main topic of the video script?

The main topic of the video script is about becoming an Industriemeister in Elektrotechnik, specifically discussing the differences between the two specializations: T1 Betriebstechnik and T2 Automatisierungstechnik.

What are the two specializations within the Industriemeister Elektrotechnik?

The two specializations are T1 Betriebstechnik, which focuses on operational technology, and T2 Automatisierungstechnik, which focuses on automation technology.

What subjects are typically covered in the T1 Betriebstechnik specialization?

T1 Betriebstechnik covers subjects such as schaltungsanalysen, motorenberechnung, Raumbeleuchtung berechnen, and cable and conduit work.

What subjects are typically covered in the T2 Automatisierungstechnik specialization?

T2 Automatisierungstechnik covers subjects such as SPS, Regelungstechnik, PDP, reggler, network addresses, bus systems, and gateways.

Do the specializations T1 and T2 never overlap?

No, the specializations T1 and T2 are not entirely distinct; there is some overlap where elements of T2 are included in the T1 examination and vice versa.

What should be on the Industriemeister Elektrotechnik master certificate regardless of the specialization chosen?

The master certificate should only state 'Industriemeister Elektrotechnik', without specifying whether the specialization is in Automatisierung or Betriebstechnik.

How can one decide which specialization, T1 or T2, is more suitable for them?

One can decide based on their prior education, vocational training, and work experience. For example, if they have experience with SPS control systems, T2 might be recommended.

Is it necessary to decide on the specialization at the beginning of the course?

No, you do not have to decide at the beginning of the course. The decision should be made at the time of examination registration.

What is the importance of contacting the vocational school before enrolling?

It is important to contact the vocational school to inquire about what they teach, whether it's T1, T2, or both, to avoid situations like the one described in the email where Matthias had to take a T1 exam without prior T1 training.

What was the issue Matthias faced as described in the email?

Matthias had to take a T1 exam without having received any T1 training, as his educational provider only offered T2 training, leading to confusion and difficulty.

How can one get a sense of whether T1 or T2 specialization is more suitable for them?

One can review old exams to compare the types of questions in T1 and T2 and see which feels more appropriate based on their background and experience.
