Welcome to ITCA FEPADE
o be a
leader institution in tech
nical education in the
national and regional levels
to form inte
gral and competent profes
sionals in technological
areas that have demand
and opportunity within the
local, regional and world
wide labor market for wor
kers as well as business

Taking our vision and
mission very seriously, we
have gone one step ahead
by offering the highly re-
quested technical education
of Mechatronics. Mecha-
tronics has become the key
competence to enable staff
to handle semi- and fully

automated production sys-
tems. Inspired by the
German dual system of
“Berufsakademie” we are
able to offer a highly
sophisticated and demand
oriented study program of
Mechatronics in a very close
cooperation with the local
Industry. This strategy is
perfectly completed by a
short-term training program
on our state-of-the-art train-
ing equipment authorized by
Festo, one of the world
leaders in Automation Tech-
nology.
Please visit our Mechatronics
lab at any time we will be
glad to welcome you !
FACT - a powerful partnership
Festo with 13.000 em-
ployees and 250 branches
and offices worldwide has
been providing automation
solutions for industrial
applications since more
than 75 years.

and in Festo quality.
The decisive element of
FACT is that ITCA
has been authorized by
Festo to offer expertise
and know-how to the free
market under the Festo
brand
Either for students – called
Training for Employability
or the Industry – called
Training for Productivity.
The advantages of FACT
are obvious:
cost effective
highly flexible because of
a modular training equip-
ment and program
highly efficient because
the training is competen-
cy-based
international standard
training facilities and
competencies
relevant to the demands
of the local Industry
use of industrial training
equipment
guaranteed Festo quality
and standard
Festo certificate on
successful completion of
training
increase productivity by
closing know-how gaps
What is Mechatronics
In the present world of
rapid technological
changes and growing
globalization there is an
urgent demand for the
very best quality products
and services. This can only
be supplied by a high level
of productivity which re-
quires automated manu-
facturing and process
engineering systems. To
be able to handle such sys-
tems a new way of thinking
and acting is required -
Mechatronics.
Mechatronics has become
a key to many different pro-
ducts and processes.
Modern systems have reach-
ed a level of sophistication,
which would have been
hard to imagine using tra-
ditional methods. Mecha-
tronics integrates the
classical fields of mechani-
cal, electrical and computer
engineering and informa-
tion technology and is
focussing on the interfaces
between the different tech-
nologies and their technical
collaboration.

Mechatronics dual education
The decisive element of the
dual education of Mech-
tronics technicians is the
close cooperation between
the demand-driven training
in the Industry and the
know-how transfer at our
high sophisticated training
equipment at ITCA. Based
on a highly flexible contract
between the Industry and
ITCA, the future Mechatron-
ics specialists getting all
the necessary know-how
according to your specific
requirements. During the
entire time of 2.5 years,
the students will be at your
company for 10 months in
total.
The advantages of the dual
education are abvious:
know-how transfer accor-
ding to your specific de-
mands
the students getting
know-how about your
production systems
the highly skills oriented
know-how transfer in
Mechatronics at ITCA is
authorized by Festo
the students will receive
a certificate from Festo
the students are able to
understand your way of
thinking and acting
after the dual education
the students are ready to
work immediately
Training for the Industry
We are offering short-term
trainings in various tech-
nologies on our high so-
phisticated training equip-
ment:
Why is continuous learning
so important? We can
answer that question divi-
ded into two sections:
Innovations and trends re-
duce the lifecycle of a pro-
duct dramatically. Produc-
tion systems have to be
flexible to be able to react
as fast as possible.
New trends and techno-
logical developments can
increase the Productivity
and your standing in the
global market.
Two good reasons to keep
focussing on the perma-
nent know-how upgrade of
your employees and staff.
