Practical information
Part of your program consists of an internship. You'll apply the knowledge and skills you've acquired at school in practice at an accredited training company. This is called practical training (BPV). During your internship, you'll receive guidance from someone at the training company where you're doing your internship, and from your internship supervisor from your program. You can contact them with any questions you may have. You'll also regularly discuss your internship progress. In the second year of school, you'll have a three-month internship. During this internship, you'll stay with one company and learn about different professions. At the end of the third year, you'll have a six-month internship. Following this, in the fourth year, you'll have a third internship at a different training company. One internship focuses on maintenance, while the other focuses primarily on operating and monitoring installations.
