Laboratory technology

What do you learn?

As a laboratory technician, you examine substances and samples within clearly defined processes. You have access to state-of-the-art laboratory equipment and microscopes for this purpose.

You analyse chemical and physical properties such as temperature, density, pH value, or melting point. In doing so, you work with various analytical methods, such as volumetric or gravimetric techniques. 

With your examinations, you make a significant contribution to the quality and sustainability of our textiles – and help to further develop them in a targeted manner.

Apprenticeship Duration and School

The apprenticeship to become a laboratory technician lasts a total of 3.5 years and concludes with a final apprenticeship examination.
The vocational school attended during the training is located in Dornbirn and operates on a block release basis.

What do you need?

  • Interest in chemistry
  • Resistance to chemical substances
