As an education officer, you are responsible for the planning, implementation and evaluation of educational measures. These can be training courses, seminars or workshops that are tailored to the needs of companies or institutions. Training officers often work closely with specialist departments to develop and deliver the desired learning content. They can also be involved in the creation of training courses and programs and provide support in the selection of suitable trainers and speakers.
There is no standardized training for the job of education officer, but specialists often have an academic background in areas such as education, adult education, human resource management or psychology. Further training in the field of adult education or specific trainer qualifications are also an advantage.
Education officers have various career opportunities. They can develop into specialist or management positions within educational institutions, companies or non-profit organizations. Self-employment as a trainer or consultant is also an option. There are also opportunities for further training, e.g. through specific qualifications or Master's degree courses.
