Material engineering – material testing

Are you interested in the fascinating world of materials?

When you train to become a materials tester with us, you'll be immersed in the exciting world of materials and carry our precise mechanical, chemical, and physical tests on a wide range of different materials. You'll test the hardness, density, load-bearing capacity, and many other material properties to ensure their quality and enable certifications to be issued.

During your training, not only will you determine physical characteristics, you'll also learn ho to evaluate the data.  This will then be used to optimize material properties and production processes. Your training will be highly practical with optimal support from our vocational school in Reutte. So you'll gain an in-depth insight into our materials.
