Office management clerks are true all-rounders in the company. You take on organizational and administrative tasks, handle correspondence, and schedule appointments. You organize meetings, prepare presentations, and support customers while observing data protection. Depending on your area of assignment, you also work in accounting, marketing, event management, or personnel and warehouse management.
Office management clerk is a state-recognized training occupation. The retraining lasts 24 months and follows the nationally uniform training regulation. It includes at least a six-month in-company practical phase and concludes with a chamber examination before the Chamber of Industry and Commerce (IHK). During the retraining, you specialize in selected elective qualifications.
The training content includes, among other things, economics and social studies, business administration, and the selection of corporate communication systems. You learn to maintain, check, and secure data, as well as to research and archive information. Other topics include processing incoming and outgoing mail, planning projects, and using word processing programs. Customer data analysis, calculations, travel expense reports, and application training are also part of the curriculum.
To participate, you need German language skills at level B2 and basic IT skills. With appropriate performance, you can obtain a LanguageCert language certificate as part of the retraining. At some locations, an SAP certificate is also possible for licensing reasons.
EVB Training supports you in finding an internship position throughout the entire practical phase. A career advisor accompanies you, ideally even in your native language. Even after the retraining ends, EVB Training continues to support you for another six months with questions and applications.
The lessons take place in a virtual classroom, live with an instructor. You see and hear the teacher in real time and can ask questions directly, almost like in lecture-style teaching. If needed, EVB Training provides you with a laptop for the lessons.
After retraining, a wide range of opportunities are open to you, both in the private sector and in public service. EVB Training is certified as an education provider under the Accreditation and Licensing Ordinance for Employment Promotion (AZAV). This allows you to receive funding via a Bildungsgutschein (education voucher) from the Employment Agency or Job Center.
