The boat builder training program focuses on the construction, repair, and maintenance of boats. Your tasks include creating planks, sanding surfaces, as well as welding and laminating. Depending on the company, you will often specialize in a specific material, be it wood, metal, or plastic.
The theoretical part of the training takes place at our Schiffer-Berufskolleg RHEIN, where you will acquire well-founded knowledge.
You will learn to create lines plans and construction drawings, as well as carry out calculations and familiarize yourself with the various manufacturing processes and procedures. The training usually lasts 3.5 years and prepares you optimally for the manual challenges in boat building.

After completing your training, numerous paths are open to you: You can acquire the master craftsman title and train the next generation in boat building, start your own company, or take on a responsible position in a shipyard. Thanks to your manual expertise, a career change into many other manufacturing professions is also possible.
For those who have a higher education entrance qualification, there is the possibility of considering further studies. This offers an excellent opportunity to deepen your knowledge and qualify for even more demanding tasks in the technical field, such as in development or management. This allows you to later work as a technician, engineer, or in a management position.
