Städtische Berufsschule für Informationstechnik

What Städtische Berufsschule für Informationstechnik does

Städtische Berufsschule für Informationstechnik (BS Info) is a public vocational school (Berufsschule) in Munich operated by the City of Munich (Landeshauptstadt München) under the Referat für Bildung und Sport. It delivers dual vocational education in seven IT occupations — Fachinformatiker (Anwendungsentwicklung, Systemintegration, Daten- und Prozessanalyse, Digitale Vernetzung), IT-System-Elektroniker, and Kaufleute für Digitalisierungsmanagement and IT-System-Management — following the 2020 German IT training ordinance. The school combines part-time classroom instruction with practical training at partner Ausbildungsbetriebe across the Munich metropolitan area and targets approximately 30+ teaching staff serving apprentices typically aged 16-25.

The school supplements its core vocational programs with a stack of credentialed add-on modules: Cisco CCNA certification (official Cisco Academy since 2000), FOM Hochschule dual studies for bachelor's degrees, Berufsschule Plus for Fachhochschulreife, Erasmus+ international internships in seven partner cities, and technical workshops (IoT cyber-physical systems, soldering/crimping). Infrastructure includes a 1.5 million euro Festo-Raum with industrial training systems for e-mobility and cyber-physical building management, a KI-Profilklasse launching in 2026/27 with Versicherungskammer Bayern, and standard Bavarian education platforms (Moodle, Bayerncloud/mebis, WebUntis, WebDAV, VDI). The school also operates as a Seminarschule training future IT/CS teachers.

Revenue is overwhelmingly taxpayer-funded through the City of Munich; tuition is free. Ancillary revenue streams are immaterial: student ID card sales (€1.95 digital / €3.95 physical via Cardy.Cloud), a soldering course fee (€30), and bundled Azubi-Deutschlandticket (€38/month). GTM is admissions-driven: students enroll through an online portal (anm.bsinfo.eu), and the school interfaces with training companies through Career Day events and a Wechsler-list placement program that placed 15-20 apprentices in the prior year.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves7 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Emerging players

• Stackfuel: German online data/IT skills training provider offering bootcamps and corporate upskilling. Comparable as an alternative IT skills training provider targeting the same apprentice/early-career demographic, but via online subscription model rather than dual-education.
• Heise Academy: German professional IT training provider offering vendor-certified and developer courses (Cisco, cloud, security). Comparable in delivering add-on IT certifications (e.g., CCNA) to working professionals and IT apprentices, but as a private commercial provider.

Others

• FOM Hochschule: Private university for working professionals that partners with BS Info for dual-study pathways. Comparable in delivering career-oriented technical education to apprentices/working students, but at university-degree rather than vocational-school level.
• Festo Didactic: Industrial training systems provider that supplied the €1.5M Festo-Raum. Comparable in the sense of delivering technology-enabled technical skills training infrastructure, but as a supplier/enabler rather than direct vocational competitor.

Direct peers

• Staatliche Berufsschule München-Land (BS04): Another public Munich-area Berufsschule delivering dual IT vocational training under the same 2020 training ordinance. Operates in the same geographic market with overlapping employer relationships and similar IHK certification pathways.

Broad incumbents

• Cisco Networking Academy: Global vendor-authorized IT certification training program of which BS Info is a local instance. Operates the parent framework (CCNA, CyberOps) that BS Info delivers; comparable in IT certification training but at global rather than local-vocational scale.
• IHK für München und Oberbayern: Chamber of Industry and Commerce that administers the IHK examinations BS Info's apprentices ultimately take. Comparable as the regulatory and certification backbone of Munich's vocational IT training system, though not a direct training provider.

Regional players

• Berufsschule für Informationstechnik Nürnberg (B12): Bavarian state Berufsschule for IT offering parallel dual-education programs for IT apprentices. Comparable structure (Cisco Academy, Fachinformatiker training) but serves the Nuremberg/Northern Bavaria region rather than Munich metro.
