Second Year
In the second year of your apprenticeship, you will program and use computer-controlled systems.
Third and Fourth Year
After you have successfully passed your intermediate examination, you will be involved in ongoing production in the third and fourth year of your apprenticeship and take on more complex orders from planning to implementation.
As a machinist, you will work in production halls. In order to ensure that machine noise, metal dust, and shavings don’t take the fun out of your work, you are required to wear protective clothing such as safety goggles, work gloves, and hearing protection depending on the respective task.
In this apprenticeship, accuracy and precision are important – not only so that the components fit together afterwards but also for your own safety.
