Competence Centre

Competence centre for timber construction & finishing with seminar hotel - Leipzigstraße 21

With the inauguration of the Competence Centre for Timber Construction & Finishing, ideal rooms have been created for further education and training. In the associated seminar hotel, visitors can meet and stay in hotel rooms, a restaurant, seminar rooms and a seminar workshop all in one place.

Trial study programme

Launch of the Biberach model Trial degree programme: Timber construction project management

In cooperation with Biberach University of Applied Sciences, the "Timber Construction/Project Management - Civil Engineering" trial degree programme is offered, which participants complete after dual carpentry training with the title of master carpenter and a Bachelor of Engineering.
Participants in the Biberach model are thus academically and technically trained to take on the social challenges of housing construction and climate protection through renovation and construction with the sustainable building material wood.

WorldSkills Germany
