The battery industry in Europe is changing rapidly: new production sites are emerging, sustainable technologies are gaining in importance and international competition is increasing. For companies, this means: if you want to remain competitive in the future, you need well-trained employees with up-to-date knowledge of markets, materials and technologies.
With the European Battery Business Club (EBBC), Fraunhofer IFAM is offering an innovative, English-language online course for professionals.
The training programme is based on many years of experience in battery research and development as well as in vocational training and combines the latest knowledge from research and industry. R&D results that are published or come from publicly funded projects are incorporated directly into the course. The knowledge producers are therefore also the knowledge providers!
The modular structure of the course takes into account different professional backgrounds and qualification requirements. In five practice-orientated modules, participants gain a comprehensive insight into technologies, markets and applications.
The modules at a glance:
The content was developed by leading battery researchers from the Fraunhofer Institutes IFAM, ISC, ISI and IWKS as well as the Universities of Uppsala and Ljubljana. Companies such as ACC, Northern Graphite and Orano also offer exclusive insights from the battery industry.
The training takes place on the ‘Rise Up’ learning platform and can be optimally integrated into everyday working life.
Your advantages:
A final test is taken at the end of the course. The examination is carried out by the independent Fraunhofer personnel certification body accredited in accordance with DIN EN ISO/IEC 17024. Upon successfully passing the final exam, participants receive an official Fraunhofer certificate, which confirms their proven expertise and relevant, innovative practical knowledge in battery technology.
The online course is based on a simple subscription-based pricing model: for €950, individual participants receive access to the learning platform for 12 months and can work with the content in a completely flexible way. Companies also have the option of ordering company packages if they want to enrol several employees at once. In addition, the online course can easily be integrated into a company's own learning management system if required.
