A Technical Online Course is an interactively designed digital course about a technical subject. It consists of 9 individual online training sessions, each featuring individual and digital final exams. Completing all 9 online training sessions leads to the VDI Certified Professional certificate. Each session requires approximately 25-35 minutes, with the total processing time per Technical Online Course being about one working day.

Technical Online Courses and online training sessions follow a story-based learning concept.

For example, the learner takes on the role of a project manager and manages a global team working on developing a specific automotive component. Each online training session focuses on a different subject area that the learner must master before they have fulfilled their overall mission and passed the final exam.
