Training physics laboratory assistant (m/f/d)
Do you want to understand physical relationships in your everyday life and carry out experiments independently? As a future physics lab technician, you can learn something new every day in our modern calibration labs and quench your thirst for knowledge.
The education that fits your life
You wonder why a car brakes longer when it's icy or why your glasses fog up in winter? The interaction of physical quantities such as force, acceleration or heat has a direct influence on our lives. Are you bursting with curiosity? During your training as a physics laboratory assistant at Testo Industrial Services, you will get answers to all these questions and gain a deep insight into physical relationships.
As a prospective physics lab technician, you will be directly involved in all of our state-of-the-art calibration laboratories and will be allowed to calibrate our customers' measuring instruments and test equipment independently during the course of your training. Whether it's a thermal imaging camera, a torque wrench or an acceleration sensor - analyzing and documenting the measured values of different test equipment will constantly challenge your knowledge.
Do you have a spirit of discovery and like to try things out? In two-week vocational school blocks you will learn to prepare, conduct, analyze and evaluate physical experiments. In our large training workshop, you can directly apply your learned knowledge and set up your own series of physical experiments there. Technical projects such as the maintenance of measuring equipment round off your tasks during the apprenticeship.
