Exam mishap in Greifswald: Trainees are waiting for missed questions!
There was recently an organizational mishap in Greifswald that had unpleasant consequences for some aspiring plant mechanics. The theoretical and practical intermediate exam in the area of sanitary, heating and air conditioning technology was scheduled for the end of June. But on the day of the exam, the examinees faced an unexpected problem: the exam questions were not available due to a human error. Managing director Robert Schultz from the Vorpommern-Greifswald district craft association confirmed the omission and explained that in order to minimize the burden on the learners, it was decided not to deliver the examination tasks. This means that 14 affected apprentices have to take their theoretical exam on July 14th.
The practical exam still took place as planned on June 25th. A catch-up date was also set for the examinees the following day in order to ensure uniform conditions. The exams will take place at two locations in Greifswald and Torgelow. There are no official disadvantages for trainees, but individual difficulties, such as additional travel costs, may need to be discussed with the training companies. Daniel Reinke, boss of Reinke & Häher Haustechnik GmbH, was understanding of the incident and described it as less dramatic.
