Kita Management – Register now!
You will learn how to successfully manage a day care centre and which professional skills are required for this in our in-service training kita management. The further education programme will start for the 18th time at the end of November 2024.
The programme is aimed at daycare centre managers as well as educators who aspire to a management position. Participants acquire a scientifically sound, up-to-date and, in particular, application-oriented professional qualification for the management of day care centres or comparable facilities. Under the academic direction of Prof. Dr. Claus Richter and the social and educational sciences department at the University of Applied Sciences Potsdam, the further education can (but does not have to) be completed with a university certificate.
Register now, the registration deadline has been extended to 30/09/2024.
Study Social Management – Register now!
We offer the option of flexible learning: instead of the complete degree programme, you can take modules individually and complete them with a certificate of attendance or university certificate - so that you can tailor your qualification requirements to what is important to you at the time.
Would you like to complete the entire degree programme later? No problem, because we can recognise your academic achievements.

For the eighth time, the certificate course "Systemic Constellations" will start in September 2024 under the academic direction of Dr. Andrea Berreth.
The practice-oriented and in-service training is aimed at people who are familiar with systemic ways of thinking and now want to professionalise their existing knowledge or experience. The further education can be completed with a university certificate.
