You want to quench your thirst for knowledge and expand on your know how? Then you will find optimal conditions at the Vocational Training Centre (bbz) Arnsberg. More than 600 participants attend the courses held at the bbz of the South Westphalia Chamber of Small Business and Skilled Trades every day. The departments are furnished in a modern style, their equipment being continuously adapted to keep up with the latest developments, not forgetting the qualified team of lecturers.

The courses we offer have the workplace situation in mind and orientate themselves towards your individual requirements. Your tasks pose a special challenge for us. This is also the case for foreign countries: our employees travel throughout Europe in the name of training and even provide on site training in English, if required.

We have been implementing international projects in close cooperation with the Carl Duisberg centres for many years: for example, lecturers from Malaysia receive regular training in the areas of automotive engineering and automation engineering in Arnsberg. We also cooperate with Great Britain and Spain.
