What OSZ Kfz-Technik does

OSZ Kraftfahrzeugtechnik Berlin, doing business as OSZ Kfz-Technik, is a public vocational school (Berufsschule) located in the Charlottenburg district of Berlin, Germany, at Gierkeplatz 1+3, 10585 Berlin. The institution is operated under the oversight of the Senatsverwaltung für Bildung, Jugend und Familie (Senate Department for Education, Youth and Family), the school authority (Schulträger) responsible for schools in Berlin, and is legally classified as a government state entity under Schulnummer 04B03. It is the only training center for automotive technology professions in the Charlottenburg area and serves approximately 2,000 students. The school is led by Schulleiter Ronald Rahmig.

The school's core offerings center on dual vocational training programs in automotive mechatronics (KFZ-Mechatroniker:in), two-wheel mechatronics (Zweirad-Mechatroniker:in), and bicycle mechanics (Fahrradmonteur:in), combining theoretical classroom instruction at the school with practical workplace training at partner companies. Beyond dual training, the institution runs a school-based bicycle mechanic program, a two-year technical college (Fachoberschule) yielding Fachhochschulreife (university of applied sciences entrance qualification), an Integrated Vocational Training Preparation (IBA) program for students who did not secure apprenticeships after 10th grade, and Willkommensklassen (Welcome Classes) for refugees and migrants aged 16+ providing language and vocational orientation. The technical platform comprises modern workshops covering automotive mechatronics, motorcycle technology, bicycle mechanics, bodywork, commercial vehicle technology, and high-voltage systems, supplemented by a dedicated electromobility extension building opened in 2022 and climate-neutral infrastructure featuring solar panels, a wind turbine, and a planted green roof.

OSZ Kfz-Technik operates a publicly funded, non-commercial model in which tuition is free for students and operational funding is sourced from the Berlin Senate Department for Education. Distribution occurs through direct on-site instruction at the Charlottenburg campus and through referral partnerships with Kfz-Innung Berlin (the Berlin Motor Vehicle Guild) and IHK Berlin (the Chamber of Commerce and Industry). Support services include vocational language courses (FONS Academy), remedial tutoring (AsAflex), school social work, and a charitable support association (Förderverein). Digital learning delivery is enabled through third-party platforms including Lernraum Berlin, WebUntis, and Bettermarks.
