IT platform development specialists graduate as ICT platform development specialists with a professional qualification (federal certificate). They are specialists in all aspects of ICT infrastructure and ensure obstacle-free and secure functionality in the area of information and communication technology in companies of all sizes and industries in times of digital transformation. In addition to comprehensive technical and specialist knowledge, participants also acquire solid leadership skills and project management expertise in the area of IT platform development. The course is therefore a highly recommended springboard for the first steps in company management.

The preparatory courses for the federal examination as a computer scientist in platform development teach the required examination material in six subject areas:

  • Network Management
  • Business Management
  • Data Management
  • Risk and Security Management
  • Project Management
  • System Management

The federal certificate designates successful graduates as "ICT Platform Development Specialist (BP)" from 2024.
