Michael Faraday Institution e.V. Munich
(Julian's notes,
not official Faraday page.)
- When I created this page a few years back, Faraday/Munich
had no web presence.
-
Thus I created this page to have something to point to for
potentially interested people in other groups such as
- This page also serves as a central focus from my various
pages that point to Faraday, to wherever they currently site
at.
- On the Faraday blue leaflet available at the AGM in 2001
there was still no web site mentioned.
- In January 2002, via Tristram, I heard that Bernadette's
son's web pages had finally gone on line, as official, www.IEEGermany.de.
- 2004.06.12: 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
- www.IEEGermany.de
Seems to be broken @ 19 Oct 2006
- 19 Oct 2006 Alan Teale announced a
New page www.mfi-ev.de
& invited comments. I haven't had time to look just
yet.

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.
