BHAK und BHAS Wiener Neustadt

What BHAK und BHAS Wiener Neustadt does

BHAK und BHAS Wiener Neustadt (Bundeshandelsakademie und Bundeshandelsschule Wiener Neustadt) is a public Austrian secondary school located at Ungargasse 29, 2700 Wiener Neustadt, Lower Austria, founded in 1945 and operated under the supervision of the Austrian Federal Ministry of Education. It delivers commercial/business education (kaufmännische Ausbildung) at the Sekundarstufe 2 level through three core programs: the five-year HAK (Handelsakademie) culminating in the Reife- und Diplomprüfung (university-entrance and diploma examination), the three-year HAS (Handelsschule) with Abschlussprüfung and a 150-hour internship, and the IBC (International Business Class) HAK track featuring a semester abroad in destinations such as the USA, Australia, New Zealand, and Canada.

The school's product surface includes add-on offerings: SAP certification via an in-house elective subject and examination center, the FiRi (Finanz- und Risikomanagement) additional qualification delivered in partnership with WKNÖ and regional banks, Peer-Mediation training, and Übungsfirmen (practice companies) such as ÜFA Conrex GmbH. Technology infrastructure is built on standard educational SaaS — LMS (lms.at), WebUntis scheduling, Sokrates administration — plus Google Analytics, with no proprietary platform layer. The institution carries the MINT-Gütesiegel and the European Social Fund affiliation, and displays strategic-partner logos for WKNÖ, EESI (entrepreneurship education), and FHWN alongside sponsors such as Sparkasse, Raiffeisenbank, Rotary, and Stadtwerke.

As a Bundeshandelsakademie, the institution is government-funded and tuition-free; it has no commercial revenue model, no external investors, and operates on federal educational budgets. Its go-to-market is direct enrollment of regional secondary students (aged ~14+) via its website, open-house events (Tag der offenen Tür), and a virtual house tour, supported by a network of regional partner companies that host the mandatory 300-hour (HAK) and 150-hour (HAS) Berufspraktikum placements. Leadership is headed by Director MMag. Engelbert Zwitkovits, with Bildungsberater Mag. Matthias Wagner handling prospective-student guidance and a teaching/administrative team operating under Austrian public-service regulations.
