Trainers with a Federal Diploma of Higher Education: What are the main disadvantages?

As a trainer with a Federal Diploma of Higher Education, you will be able to plan and manage training courses for adults. You will design and organize courses and seminars on various topics and be responsible for their implementation and evaluation.

The most important disadvantages for trainers with a Federal Diploma of Higher Education are:

  1. As training to become a Federal Diploma of Higher Education instructor usually takes place over two semesters while working, it is very time-consuming and requires good time management.
  2. Anyone who wants to work in adult education needs not only a good general education and a high level of professional competence, but also pedagogical skills, communication and conflict resolution skills, appearance and organizational talent. Not all skills can be taught in a training course.
  3. The examination pressure at the annual Federal Diploma of Higher Education final examinations for trainers is high, but is specifically prepared for during training. This can be difficult if you have exam nerves. However, there are mock examinations and learning checks beforehand.
  4. It is difficult to fulfill a 100% workload for one client. You often work part-time for several clients. The job market is subject to cyclical fluctuations.
  5. Trainers with a Federal Diploma of Higher Education travel a lot, as many training events take place at the respective client's premises, in seminar hotels or training centers. This requires a high degree of time flexibility due to irregular assignments.

 

Graduates either work part-time for various clients or, with appropriate professional experience, in permanent positions.
