High quality instructing in VET is still an underestimated factor for the acquisition of vocational competencies, although the awareness of its importance is lately raising. Decisive for the quality are not only formal aspects of the in-company training but also methodology and attitude of the instructor. Modelling alone is not suffice. In the course we look at the work situation as a meaningful unit and explore efficient methodologies to develop according knowledge, skills and attitudes.

Furthermore, we look at the role of the instructor in guiding the young in the development of their competencies. Especially when a curriculum for the in-company training is missing it is at risk to be random. By the end of the course the participants are able to analyse the work process and define relevant work situations as well as their respective knowledge, skills and attitudes. They have the tools and attitudes to implement an efficient in-company training.
