Are you planning to take on responsibility for apprentices in your retail store in the future? If so, it's high time you took the retail vocational trainer course, which will give you the skills you need to instruct and supervise apprentices. The vocational trainer course (also known under the old name "Lehrmeisterkurs") is anchored in the Vocational Training Act and is mandatory for those responsible for supervising apprentices in a company. Every business wishing to train apprentices must have at least one employee who has completed the relevant course. The tasks of apprenticeship supervisors entail a great deal of responsibility and also enable the supervisors to gain their first experience as a manager. Taking on the role of apprentice supervisor is therefore a good introduction to management.

Vocational trainers in the retail trade are responsible for the comprehensive basic vocational training of their apprentices. They guide the apprentices, accompany them, support and impart practical know-how in the workplace and introduce them to the individual work processes and tasks. In doing so, they always adhere to the requirements of the training ordinance. They also maintain contact with legal representatives (parents) and vocational schools.
