  • Certified Technical Specialist Manager (IHK)

    You combine technical knowledge with business, law and leadership. That lets you take on project, budget and team responsibility beyond a single construction site.

    Why you fit

    As a TGA site manager you already coordinate trades, schedules and costs. The qualification documents this practice in business, law and leadership.

    Further training and exam
    IHK exam in three parts: business-related, technical and action-specific qualifications. The qualification is placed at DQR level 6. The IHK gives no course length; providers set it.

    Admitted are holders of an Industriemeister or comparable technical master qualification, Technischer Fachwirt (IHK) or state-recognised technician, or state-recognised engineers with relevant work experience.

    You coordinate occupational safety on sites where several employers work. You draw up the health and safety plan and check whether employers meet their duties.
