On 27 September, the graduates of the certificate course in Network Technology and Network Operation District Heating (Cohort 4) at Nordhausen University of Applied Sciences received their diplomas. After successfully completing the final modules, the participants were ceremoniously presented with their certificates. The degree programme provides graduates with the necessary skills to take responsibility for the efficient and reliable implementation of tasks in project planning and network planning as well as in operations management and maintenance in the field of district heating.

Nordhausen University of Applied Sciences congratulates the graduates of the 4th round of the programme on their successful completion. The certificate programme, which focuses on an intensive combination of theoretical and practical teaching, offers participants comprehensive further training. The course is taught in seminars, lectures, practical sessions and laboratory applications and is conducted by recognised experts from the industry. Cohort 5 starts in January, but is already fully booked. This shows the continuing interest and importance of this degree programme for the industry. Applications for Cohort 6, which starts in March, are still possible - there are still places available.

The certificate programme in Network Technology and Network Operation District Heating at Nordhausen University of Applied Sciences comprises seven modules covering theoretical and practical aspects of district heating supply. Participants learn the basics of district heating supply, the design and planning of district heating networks and pipeline construction in theory and practice. Further content includes the operation and maintenance of district heating networks, district heating water treatment and corrosion protection. Special attention is paid to the subject of occupational safety and environmental and health protection, which is organised in cooperation with the TEAG Academy. The programme offers practical training through excursions, laboratory practicals and field reports from site managers. After completing the modules, participants receive a certificate issued jointly by Nordhausen University of Applied Sciences, AGFW e.V. and the TEAG Academy. "It makes me proud to say goodbye to the graduates of our Network Technology and Network Operation District Heating certificate programme. They are well prepared to take on a key role in the district heating industry and contribute to a sustainable energy supply," says Prof. Dr.-Ing.
