Due to an accident at work, I was unfortunately no longer able to work in my profession, and was given the opportunity to retrain as a merchant in e-commerce at WIFA. To the outside world, this also made a very solvent impression, and I then also decided to join the WIFA Group.
Since I come from the machining industry and also own my own machines, my original plan was to possibly become self-employed. But since I had deficits in the commercial area, I decided for this profession. The main focus in this case was bookkeeping and accounting.
The initial euphoria faded after just a few weeks. Lecturers were a disaster, the framework curriculum was not adhered to, intrigues within the class, as well as with the lecturers. The composition of the class was an absolute disaster, as the educational levels here were so different that we sometimes had to do basic arithmetic in class. There was almost no trace of experience and knowledge from everyday working life.
To be fair, I have to say that the management always took care of any grievances, but it was much too late for our class. The lecturers who came in over time were really good. As well as the coaching for applications, for example. In the end, we went into the exams without ever having had commercial accounting or bookkeeping. And that as a businessman.
Summa Summarum, I successfully completed a retraining without having made up for my deficits. So, for me, it was a waste of time.
I cannot recommend WIFA to anyone who seriously wants to do a retraining or an apprenticeship. It is regularly mentioned that the internal structure is constantly being improved, which is also true to a small extent, but nevertheless it is money wasted.
