As a vocational school, we are the dual partner in the training for bank clerks
The duration of the training is 2, 2.5, or 3 years and takes place at the learning locations of the company and the vocational school.
Bank clerks provide comprehensive advice to their customers. They process customer orders in domestic and international payment transactions, inform customers about various options for investing money and capital, and handle personal and business loans, assessing and verifying the creditworthiness of customers.
Bank clerks work at credit institutions such as banks and savings banks.
During their training, prospective bank clerks attend our school in four, five, or six so-called vocational school blocks. A vocational school block lasts on average eight weeks.
If you would like to get to know us and our modern and well-equipped school in person or wish for further information, we look forward to hearing from you.
school enrollment
Your First Day at the Vocational School
Start: Your classes begin at 7:45 AM. It is best to arrive at the school by 7:30 AM for orientation.
How do I get to the vocational school? Please use public transport, as there are very few public or free parking spaces available near the school. Parking in designated spaces for teachers is not allowed. This is how you can reach the school.
Which class am I assigned to? At the entrance of the school building, you will find class lists and information on electronic displays or bulletin boards indicating where the respective classrooms are located. You will also find out whether the welcome takes place centrally in the auditorium or in your classroom.
What can I expect on my first day at the vocational school? On the first day of vocational school, there will be no regular classes during the first four school hours. Together with your class teacher, you will get to know each other during this time. You will be informed about general procedures, rules, and of course, the class schedule. You will complete formalities such as filling out student ID cards, and you will tour the new, spacious school building. After these four school hours, you will have classes according to the schedule. Here you will find the class times.
training curriculum
The teaching content is organized into so-called learning fields. Each learning field is listed separately in your vocational school report card. In addition, you will receive instruction in three subjects: Language and Communication, Business English, and Economics and Society. These subjects will also be included in your vocational school report card.
Since summer 2020, the framework curriculum for the training occupation “Bank Clerk” has been in effect, as of December 13, 2019. You can access this for download on our homepage.
