Michael Faraday Institution e.V. Munich

(Julian's notes, not official Faraday page.)

  • When I first created this page years back, Faraday/Munich had no web presence ( On the Faraday blue leaflet available at the AGM in 2001 there was still no web site mentioned).
    Nothing I could point at from my various berklix pages eg Hence this page got created.
  • Then for years there were just broken pages:
    • January 2002, via Tristram, I heard Bernadette's son's web pages had finally gone on line, as official, www.IEEGermany.de.
    • Broken / Useless 2004.06.12, 2006.10.19 & 2009.01.17 : Totally inaccessible unless you've got Shockwave installed. (Not all operating systems have shock wave, not all people trust foreign binaries, especially Microsoft virus compatible. Some only trust & run source code we can examine & compile ourselves. )

    • 2006.05 The MFI/IET Germany web-site has been modified a little to accommodate the amalgamation of the IEE and the IIE to form the IET (The Institution of Engineering & Technology). As before, the web-site can be found at www.ieegermany.de However the web-site is now also accessible at the following two new addresses: www.ietgermany.de & www.theietgermany.de

Thorsten Steentjes on SAGE.De mail list asked in 2004:
Englischsprachige Bezeichnung deutscher Berufsabschluesse: "Staatlich gepruefter technischer Assistent fuer Informatik" ?
I replied:
There may well be no colloquially correct name for an equivalent certification. Such certification as such, may well not even exist ! Even when similar qualifications exist, they rarely map exactly. The more someone asserts A exactly equals B, the more the asserter should be distrusted ;-) Sometimes one is safer just translating literally as "German state certified ...."

Germany's keener on bits of paper than Anglo Saxons are. I'm English, when I left for Muenchen in 1985, I don't recall the word Informatics even existed (yes I know that's tempting fate, someone may dig up an obscure reference :-) Wasn't common though, might be now, or not :-) There's lots of other bits of paper in Germany, we (fortunately) don't have in England too, (eg

  • Ehe- Unbedenklichkeits- Bescheinigungen
  • Gewerbe-Schein
  • Anwohner- Melde- Amts- Schein usw
  • Regelmaessig Schornstein/Kammer- Putz/Inspektions Bestaetigungschein or whatever it's called here ;-)
  • Identitaets Ausweiss - We don't even have ID cards - thank god - yet - though UK politicians keep pushing (we just have passports).
No obstruction by industry in the UK, having a Gewerbe-Schein demanded of you before purchase, instead you just get told by wholesale outlets the pragmatic message "Our minimum order quantity/ value is ...." ...: Different countries, different systems, so similar certifications may not exist.

Derek Mullinger added: I suggest the form "German state-certified Technical Assistant for Informatics" is probably the best one can do, and it is quit clear.
