Template: direct your trade towards a further education plan
A single tool to find your next direction after your journeyman's certificate
Many postpone further education because it is unclear where to start. This template makes thoughts concrete so you can make a decision instead of letting time pass. Use it when you feel you are ready for a new step.
§1. What do you want to achieve?
- 01Do you want to become more skilled in the craft itself?
- 02Do you want to specialize in certain treatments?
- 03Do you want toward sales or your own business?
- 04Do you want to go further in the education system (academy, professional bachelor)?
§2. Match goal and path
| Your target | Possible way | Shape |
|---|---|---|
| Sharper craftsmanship | Short courses, supplier certificates | Days to weeks |
| Own clinic. | Academy education in management/entrepreneurship | Part-time |
| Higher education | Professional bachelor | Full or part-time |
§3. Define the first step
Write one concrete step down that you can take within the next month — for example finding a course, talking to your school or your union, or investigating admission to an academic education. A small, concrete step is far more valuable than a big, vague plan.
