Pre-requisites for retraining as an IT Specialist

In order to be accepted onto an IT Specialist reskilling course, you must first meet a few requirements. First and foremost, you are passionate about the world of IT. Academic qualifications are not the deciding factor at the BITLC. Technical school qualifications, or even discontinued training/studies are of equal value to us. Qualifications attained abroad are often not recognised in Germany. If you are a specialist with an unrecognised degree, for example, this is no problem for us. At BITLC, you can use your existing knowledge to get started in IT here in Germany. If you have a genuine interest in the varied IT industry, every door is open to you! Enjoyment of the way an IT Specialist works, and the content of the training are also an important factor. With a good understanding of maths, and logical thinking skills, you have the basic skills necessary for the IT industry.

System Integration and Application Development – the differences.

"Which retraining should I go for: IT Specialist in System Integration or IT Specialist in Application Development?" Many people who are interested in IT specialist retraining ask this question. Even though the jobs are very similar, there are key differences that should definitely be considered when making your decision. Whether you successfully reskill as an FIAE or FISI, this will ultimately influence the type of positions you can fill afterwards. On the one hand, with Application Development you become an expert in software, while on the other hand, System Integration is more involved with hardware. Here we list the main differences between the two, and the direction of each type of training:

IT Specialist System Integration:

  • Installation of hardware
  • Installion of mainframe systems
  • Troubleshooting
  • Installation of multi-user systems
  • Customer service and advice

IT Specialist Application Development:

  • Programming of customer-specific software
  • Improvement and testing of applications
  • Troubleshooting of existing systems
  • User training and advice
