Hands-on training in Stuttgart

aceArt has been approved and certified as a training company by the IHK (Chamber of Commerce) Region Stuttgart since 2018. Every year we train IT specialists focusing on application development.

The apprenticeship combines theory at vocational school with daily project practice in our office. You apply what you learn directly to real client projects rather than forgetting it in dry textbook exercises.

The apprenticeship takes three years and can be shortened for strong performance. It starts each year on 1 September.

The apprenticeship in brief

Five key facts: duration, location, start date and options for shortening.

3-year apprenticeship

A classic dual apprenticeship with theory at vocational school and practice at the training company; strong performance can shorten the training period.

Theory: it.schule Stuttgart

The school-based part takes place at it.schule Stuttgart on Breitwiesenstraße, easy to reach by public transport and specialised in IT professions.

Practice in Stuttgart-Feuerbach

You spend the practical part at our office at Sieglestraße 33G in Stuttgart-Feuerbach, with a modern setup, free choice of operating system and a dedicated trainer team.

Starts on 1 September

Apprenticeship positions start on 1 September of each training year; ideally, applications should reach us several months in advance.

Shortening possible

With good school grades or relevant prior experience, the apprenticeship can be shortened to 2 or 2.5 years. We coordinate this individually with you and the IHK.

Taster internship

Not sure yet whether the apprenticeship is right for you? Taster internships are possible with us, letting you experience everyday software development first-hand.

What you'll learn with us

Our training is broad: you get insights into every area we work in daily, and can specialise later.

01

Web development

Conception, design and development of professional web presences, from the first idea through layout to go-live, with modern frontend tools and a clean backend.

02

Learning to code

You'll work with current programming languages, learn to write clean code, use version control with Git and collaborate on projects as part of a team.

03

CMS & shop systems

You'll administer and extend popular content management systems like WordPress and TYPO3 as well as modern shop systems, from themes and plugins to custom extensions.

04

IT fundamentals

Domains, networks, servers, hardware, software: we teach you the fundamentals without which real-world software development doesn't work.

05

Modern project management

You'll experience first-hand how we organise projects. Sprint planning, tickets, code reviews and client communication are part of it from the start.

06

Real client projects

Rather than practice exercises, you'll solve tasks from live projects, with real requirements, real feedback and real impact on the end result.

Your benefits at aceArt

What we offer apprentices beyond the curriculum, theory and practice.

Flat hierarchies

Transparent structures, short decision paths and direct communication. Your voice carries weight; you're not just a personnel number.

Close-knit team culture

An open atmosphere, mutual appreciation and collaboration on equal terms. We treat apprentices as full colleagues from day one.

Responsibility & freedom

You take on real tasks with real outcomes and can develop quickly, with room for your own ideas, tools and approaches.

Modern work environment

Bright offices, up-to-date hardware, free choice of operating system and a say in your equipment — you work with what suits you best.

Pension & savings benefits

Even during the apprenticeship we support you in building a company pension and offer capital-forming benefits (VWL).

Lunches, events & the annual trip

Shared lunch every Tuesday, regular team events and an annual multi-day company trip — you're part of the team from the very beginning.
