Our Mission Statement
Schiffer-Berufskolleg RHEIN sees itself not only as a training institution but as a vibrant community where trainees are at the heart of everything. The close exchange between trainees, the school, and the training companies fosters a supportive atmosphere where everyone involved can feel valued.
During their training, trainees live on the school ship Rhein, which not only strengthens team spirit but also provides a practical learning environment. On this floating residence, they have the opportunity to immerse themselves early in the daily work on board, interact with others, and forge important professional networks.
This close support fosters a strong connection between trainees, instructors, and training companies. This applies to both their professional and personal development.
Schiffer-Berufskolleg RHEIN aims to train not only competent but also responsible and team-oriented skilled professionals who can successfully launch their careers in inland shipping, port logistics, or boat building.
Schiffer-Berufskolleg RHEIN in Duisburg is more than just a school – it is a community dedicated to the first-class training and development of its trainees.
The World of Inland Shipping
Inland shipping is an indispensable part of European transport, offering exciting career opportunities in freight transport, passenger transport, or waterway maintenance. With its varied tasks, it makes an important contribution to European logistics. For inland shipping companies, Schiffer-Berufskolleg RHEIN is a reliable training partner.
As one of Europe’s largest inland shipping schools, and with a unique combination of theory and practice, we best prepare our trainees for the ever-growing demands of the industry.
Thanks to strong cooperation in dual vocational training with inland shipping companies throughout German-speaking countries, our training programs are closely tied to practical experience. This way, trainees experience the varied challenges of the profession firsthand, both on board and in ports.
