Admission Requirements

You have successfully completed your training as a specialist in system gastronomy or as a hotel clerk and at the time of the examination you have at least 2 years of relevant professional experience. You can therefore start distance learning immediately after completing your training, as you will continue to work during your studies and thus at the time of the examination have the necessary work experience.

• You do not have a professional qualification in the hospitality industry, but you have 5 years of professional experience at the time of the examination.
• So you can start distance learning with 30 months of professional experience, since you will continue to work during your studies and therefore have the necessary professional experience by the time of the exam.

Duration of study and costs

Temporal outline

Distance learning (30 months, including AdA exam, 24 months without AdA exam)

In this phase of your distance learning, you will receive your teaching letters in monthly succession. The subject matter prepares you for the examination to become a specialist in the hospitality industry IHK.

Seminar 1 (trainer aptitude test 4 days)

After the successful completion of the first part of the distance learning course "Training of trainers", after evaluation and grading of the external control tasks, we invite you to a 4-day seminar and examination block.

This seminar has been led for many years by Christoph Ladewig, the owner and director of the Hotel Fernschule Poppe & Neumann (himself an examiner at the IHK Frankfurt am Main for many years).

We invite you to the training hotel of the Hotel Fernschule Poppe & Neumann and, of course, we have taken care that you are accommodated and fed reasonably for the four days.

The seminar and exam take place in the training hotel, ie you will first be intensively prepared for two days for the written IHK exam, which takes place on site.

After the written exam, the oral exam and the instruction will be practiced and on the fourth day you will take your exam in front of the IHK examination board, who has traveled to the training hotel.

Seminar 2 (5 days)

After successful completion of the entire distance learning course, after evaluation and grading of the external control tasks, we invite you to the first part of the examination intensification seminar (attendance phase).

In the 5-day block "Preparation for the written exam in business-related qualifications", you will be prepared in detail for the subsequent written exam in "Business-related qualifications" by our competent specialist lecturers - who have been successful experts from the industry for years. In the seminar, the contents of the written exam are dealt with intensively and in an exam-oriented manner.

You now have six weeks to deepen what you have learned and to get in the mood for the following seminar block.

Seminar 3 (5 days)

The third part of the presence phase serves to prepare – again under the direction of our lecturers – for the subsequent written exam “Action-specific qualifications” as well as the requirements of the practical and oral exam.
