IBB Institut für Berufliche Bildung AG

Fewer lecture hours: Each day there are only 4 lecture hours out of a total of 9 hours. There are 5 hours of independent work each day. These 5 hours are not supervised by IBB. The lecturers do not tell us what to do in these hours. No one from IBB is in the online classroom to lead these 5 hours. Therefore, the learning method is not optimized. For this reason, many assignments such as the text-writing training from the course transcript (German course) could not be completed. Guided self-study lessons with precise instructions and goals would have helped a lot.

Under the guise of the "adult education method" and the "self-learning lessons", IBB neglects its responsibility and demands money for services not rendered. Therefore, it is a very inferior and ineffective learning method.

Look for another institute if you really want to learn a skill.

Dear Dr. W. Geißler,

I would like to thank you for your dedication and patience.

After this course, I can say that I am pleasantly surprised! Although I had no previous experience with this type of learning, thanks to your professionalism and patience, I have successfully mastered this challenge.

I admire your dedication to your work and how you are committed to each student's progress. You have managed to create an enjoyable and stimulating learning environment and for that I am deeply grateful.

You are an exceptional teacher! I wish you much health and energy for future students.

Finally, I would like to wish you every success in all your future projects and convey my sincere gratitude, respect and admiration for your work.

Yours sincerely,
O J

I'm thrilled, I'm currently doing the course as a daycare assistant. I couldn't imagine having lessons on a PC. But it all works, I would do it again in a second. It's so much fun and you learn a lot. We have such great lecturers who make the lessons very interesting.
I would like to thank IBB for being here.

Mr. Maron-Schulte Benjamin is an excellent and exceptional instructor who has a very special way of meeting each participant where they are. And in a very appreciative and motivating way. Great! Getting to know a virtual classroom in this way was a very special experience for me. Thank you :)

I particularly liked the support with the application documents.
On the negative side, I noticed that the participants who are not at the location do not have to keep to the attendance times in the same way as the participants at the location. I find that extremely unfair! It should be up to an adult to decide for themselves how they use their time to deepen their knowledge.

Preparation course for lateral entry teachers:
Online teacher Ms. Katja Efinger very good course guidance.
Good preparation, treatment of topics and . use of methods.
The course has brought a lot for the preparation as a career changer and practical help for the career change.

My experience with this institution was extremely disappointing. The high number of course cancellations caused significant disruption to the curriculum and detracted considerably from my learning experience. I also noticed that many lecturers did not have the necessary qualifications or expertise to teach effectively. This left me feeling uneasy about my preparation and learning success.

Communication with the management was extremely difficult and frustrating. Concerns were not taken seriously, if at all, which led to a lack of transparency and trust. This lack of communication added to my dissatisfaction and made it difficult to address problems constructively.

Due to these negative experiences, I unfortunately cannot recommend this institution. There is an urgent need for improvement in terms of organization, lecturer qualifications and communication with students in order to create a positive learning environment

My experience with this online education provider was disappointing. The organization and quality of the lecturers left a lot to be desired. Some lecturers limited themselves to reading the material verbatim from the book, which made the learning process less interactive. Sometimes lecturers were unreliable and did not show up on time for lessons, which led to delays. Communication on the part of the training provider was inadequate, as we were often only informed after more than an hour when a lecturer was absent. The high course price of 10,000 euros is disproportionate to the quality on offer. I also found it inconvenient that the timetable could apparently only be submitted on Friday for the coming week, even though the lecturers already had an annual schedule. Overall, my experience was disappointing and I can only recommend this educational institution to a limited extent.

I started a 2-year retraining course and for almost a year now there have been problems with the lecturers almost every day. Some lecturers cancel lessons because of other important appointments, no replacement is found immediately, you just have to sit at your desk even when there are few lessons. Some of the lecturers are very unfriendly and incompetent, have problems giving online lessons and are not sufficiently experienced in teaching. Subject coordination is a disaster, blaming problems on retrainees and deliberately not answering queries, and when lessons were canceled, often no one from IBB gave any information to the retrainees. Some of the lecturers were randomly selected for the job. Some lecturers make fun of the retrainees' choice of job and want to put themselves in a higher position, some lecturers have a racist attitude towards participants without a German name. I would not recommend IBB to others.

Not everything is perfect. But after 6 months you can already say that you are being taught "well". It is education and training for adults, without self-motivation it is better not to learn. It was fun right up to the end, even with the different lecturers. Recommendation (and no, this rating is not bought).

I am currently in the final phase of the Industrial Master Craftsman course.
I have now gained 5 months of experience at this institute and I am sure that I would never do it through IBB again.
Out of a total of 6 lecturers, 3 were able to deliver lessons via an online platform and teach the material properly. The other subjects had to be studied on my own, as I could have done without the lessons.

I will now give you some examples:

1st case: the lecturer takes 98% of everything from a textbook and doesn't even prepare it. The slides are overloaded and there is no structure. After a consultation with the division management, unfortunately nothing has changed. That's why we had to study 2 BQ subjects and 3 HQ subjects on our own, as we couldn't do anything with the learning material that was provided.
-When it came to further criticism, we were only told that it was adult education and that we could prepare for it ourselves.

2nd case: This concerns the organization. In one of the most important subjects, NTG, the teaching time was too short. As a result, the lecturer was only able to respond to questions a few times and explain very little.

3rd case: Due to illness, IBB was unable to find a replacement lecturer for an HQ subject. In an emergency, an older colleague was asked if he could step in for a short time. He had no experience of industrial master craftsmen, nor was he provided with any working materials. So we were able to provide him with teaching materials. What I found frightening was the lecturer's statement on Monday morning that "I have just come from hospital and was unable to prepare for your lessons".

Poorly motivating lecturers. Poorly prepared. Online lecturer sells what is not implemented in the course.

Unqualified and unmotivated lecturers | low learning effect

I attended the 8-week full-time online lecturer course.
During this time, we had 3 lecturers who were unmotivated or unqualified.
The lecturers only gave frontal teaching, which consisted mainly of monologues. There was no recognizable common thread or structure to the content taught in accordance with the module schedule. The group was only involved for questions at most and there was no didactic mix of methods.

Although the pedagogical management listened to the criticism and tried to find a replacement, the form of teaching did not change.

There was little or no coordination between the lecturers.

One lecturer let it slip that we were seen internally at IBB as an exhausting group, although we only had a legitimate interest in learning properly.

The book for the course had a publication date of 2014. The internet links in the book for further interest were no longer active and the content was out of date. At least one lecturer had commented on this. IBB's response to the reference to the outdated status was exclusively the statement that the publication date says nothing about the quality of the book and that the lecturers would distribute up-to-date information as a supplement. Unfortunately, this did not happen.

The use of the camera was not possible in the group due to permanent technical faults on the learning platform and allegedly not intended by IBB. This raises the question of how to properly simulate a lesson for online lecturers.

Direct feedback on the IBB website was ignored.

It is extremely disappointing that IBB did not work towards a sensible solution here because the course was fully billed.

Conclusion:
Learning by bad example or how not to be an online lecturer!

I have now completed my second course, first as a school companion and now as an ADHD course. I'm very satisfied and would have liked to do more. I have the good lecturers to thank for the fact that I kept up well and learned a lot. I would do it again at any time.

I was able to work from home. I really like the virtual classroom. I have successfully completed the first part of my training. Now I'm starting the second part. I like the course very much. The lecturers are very competent.

the choice of lecturer, he brought his personal experience into the learning workload and gave practical tips.

I really enjoyed the course. The lecturer did a great job teaching the course and also included lots of case studies so that you can put yourself in the situations. She also put her heart and soul into it, you could tell. A very big compliment!

In this course, I was able to learn a lot in a relatively short time, as the lessons were very interesting and varied. The lecturer also brought a lot of experience from her work, which complemented the lessons perfectly! I felt that I was in very good hands! :)

I am mega-enthusiastic about the training, the lecturer gets it across so well that everyone understands it. I would recommend the IBB again at any time, or do further training with you.

The instructor was able to pick up all participants and involve them in the topic. She made the lessons very varied and always had an open ear for questions and concerns of the individual participants.
