Contents of the training

As an Office Management Clerk, you are one of the quiet yet incredibly important forces behind the scenes of our construction company, keeping everything running smoothly. Administration and organization are your forte.

Your primary focus will be in our accounting department, where you will learn everything about accounting – the linchpin of every company. This is where the most crucial business processes converge. You will monitor payment transactions and manage everything from incoming to outgoing invoices. Factual verification, allocation of delivery notes, invoice creation and posting, as well as dunning procedures, will be among your daily tasks.
As part of this, you will also communicate with our external business partners and work hand-in-hand with your department colleagues. Because with us, you are not an individual contributor, but always part of the team.
We will teach you how to work with tables and graphs, prepare financial statements, process orders, maintain databases, and master various booking systems thoroughly.

Additionally, you will be assigned general assistant and secretarial duties, where you will support the various departments of the company in their administrative tasks. This way, by the end of your apprenticeship, you will have a broad and solid commercial foundation upon which you can build in any direction.

Duration and procedure

The apprenticeship for an Office Management Clerk typically lasts 3 years. However, here too, performance pays off. Those with a higher school leaving certificate or good grades during the apprenticeship can shorten the training period and complete it in as little as 2.5 or even 2 years. The apprenticeship is structured as a dual system. This means you will alternate between vocational school and the company. This way, you will always gain the right amount of practical experience from our company alongside the academic theory.

The first part of the final examination takes place in the middle of your second year of apprenticeship. The full final examination takes place at the end of the apprenticeship and consists of two written and one oral examination.
