With respect to the advanced training of the production staff, the first 'Master Pupils' have started their professional training in the 1rst Master School ISERGEBIRGE'. The content of teaching can be compared to 95 % with the one of the degree of 'Master of Industry' in Germany. The teaching content applying to 2 years, can be figured as follows:
300 hrs in the field of technology, 152 hrs in the field of organisation, 137 hrs in Personnel Management.
