Our educational offers feature high practical relevance and are designed for orthopedic technicians and orthopedic shoe technicians, service and sales personnel, workshop personnel as well as physical and occupational therapists. All seminars and workshops in the IETEC Academy are created according to a didactic concept.

Then the specific areas within a concept are taught in more depth.
