Welcome to ITCA FEPADE

o be a

leader institution in tech

nical education in the

national and regional levels

to form inte

gral and competent profes

sionals in technological

areas that have demand

and opportunity within the

local, regional and world

wide labor market for wor

kers as well as business

Taking our vision and

mission very seriously, we

have gone one step ahead

by offering the highly re-

quested technical education

of Mechatronics. Mecha-

tronics has become the key

competence to enable staff

to handle semi- and fully

automated production sys-

tems. Inspired by the

German dual system of

“Berufsakademie” we are

able to offer a highly

sophisticated and demand

oriented study program of

Mechatronics in a very close

cooperation with the local

Industry. This strategy is

perfectly completed by a

short-term training program

on our state-of-the-art train-

ing equipment authorized by

Festo, one of the world

leaders in Automation Tech-

nology.

Please visit our Mechatronics

lab at any time we will be

glad to welcome you !

FACT - a powerful partnership

Festo with 13.000 em-

ployees and 250 branches

and offices worldwide has

been providing automation

solutions for industrial

applications since more

than 75 years.

and in Festo quality.

The decisive element of

FACT is that ITCA

has been authorized by

Festo to offer expertise

and know-how to the free

market under the Festo

brand

Either for students – called

Training for Employability

or the Industry – called

Training for Productivity.

The advantages of FACT

are obvious:

cost effective

highly flexible because of

a modular training equip-

ment and program

highly efficient because

the training is competen-

cy-based

international standard

training facilities and

competencies

relevant to the demands

of the local Industry

use of industrial training

equipment

guaranteed Festo quality

and standard

successful completion of

training

increase productivity by

closing know-how gaps

What is Mechatronics

In the present world of

rapid technological

changes and growing

globalization there is an

urgent demand for the

very best quality products

and services. This can only

be supplied by a high level

of productivity which re-

quires automated manu-

facturing and process

engineering systems. To

be able to handle such sys-

tems a new way of thinking

and acting is required -

Mechatronics.

Mechatronics has become

a key to many different pro-

ducts and processes.

Modern systems have reach-

ed a level of sophistication,

which would have been

hard to imagine using tra-

ditional methods. Mecha-

tronics integrates the

classical fields of mechani-

cal, electrical and computer

engineering and informa-

tion technology and is

focussing on the interfaces

between the different tech-

nologies and their technical

collaboration.

Mechatronics dual education

The decisive element of the

dual education of Mech-

tronics technicians is the

close cooperation between

the demand-driven training

in the Industry and the

know-how transfer at our

high sophisticated training

equipment at ITCA. Based

on a highly flexible contract

between the Industry and

ITCA, the future Mechatron-

ics specialists getting all

the necessary know-how

according to your specific

requirements. During the

entire time of 2.5 years,

the students will be at your

company for 10 months in

total.

The advantages of the dual

education are abvious:

know-how transfer accor-

ding to your specific de-

mands

the students getting

know-how about your

production systems

the highly skills oriented

know-how transfer in

Mechatronics at ITCA is

authorized by Festo

the students will receive

a certificate from Festo

the students are able to

understand your way of

thinking and acting

after the dual education

the students are ready to

work immediately

Training for the Industry

We are offering short-term

trainings in various tech-

nologies on our high so-

phisticated training equip-

ment:

Why is continuous learning

so important? We can

answer that question divi-

ded into two sections:

Innovations and trends re-

duce the lifecycle of a pro-

duct dramatically. Produc-

tion systems have to be

flexible to be able to react

as fast as possible.

New trends and techno-

logical developments can

increase the Productivity

and your standing in the

global market.

Two good reasons to keep

focussing on the perma-

nent know-how upgrade of

your employees and staff.
