Become a Biogas Professional
For nearly two decades, the IBBK has provided training and qualifications for existing and future plant operators. The practice-orientated courses are characterised by the well-founded experience of the speakers, as well as by the intensive exchange of experience during the courses. At the national level, training courses are offered in German and English; internationally, the training courses are held in English.
As part of our attempt to develop a uniform national concept for biogas training courses in Germany, in 2012 the IBBK became, one of the first educational institutions to join the German Biogas Training Association (Schulungsverbund Biogas). Within this framework, the certified 'Basic Training for Plant Safety' and, from 2018, the ‘Refresher Course in Plant Safety' are being offered. Both training courses are in compliance with the quality assurance of biogas plants, as prescribed by the law in 2015.
An overview of our training courses is provided below.
