Goals

As part of the Luxemburgish vocational training framework and in accordance with the law of 19th December 2018, the training company ("Entreprise formatrice") shall appoint one or more tutors to follow and train an apprentice throughout his years of apprenticeship.
This training is compulsory for any company wishing to obtain the right to train ("Droit de former").

The tutor is responsible for the integration, practical training, evaluation and pedagogical supervision of the apprentice. He/She has an essential role in the relationship with the Chamber of Commerce and the apprentice's school concerning all practical and professional aspects of the apprenticeship.

With this training course, the tutors-to-be acquire the necessary legislative knowledge, pedagogical and personal soft skills in order to successfully fulfill his/her mission.
The training is very interactive and allows tutors-to-be to meet, exchange and interact with peers.

At the end of the training, the participant will be able to:

  • Understand the tutor's mission and his/her different roles
  • Know how to facilitate the integration of the apprentice in his/her company and in the professional world in general
  • Use its competencies to develop a trustful and fruitful relationship with apprentices (interpersonal, communication, and pedagogical skills)
  • Organise and build a suitable training programme
