The IHK examination board is always on the lookout for new members to ensure that we can continue to secure skilled workers in our region in the future. These members should have extensive specialist knowledge and pedagogical skills.

Previously on the IHK Audit Committee

Harald Rossol has been working on the Bremen Chamber of Industry and Commerce examination board for two months now. He is deployed in the areas of IT and application development 407 and has already examined the first candidates together with his colleagues from the committee.

Harald Rossol is appointed to the Audit Committee of the Bremen Chamber of Commerce for the period from 09.05.2022 to 31.08.2024.

Changes to the IHK Examination Board 

The Audit Committee elects one member as Chairman and one member as Deputy Chairman. However, both bodies must belong to different groups of members. For the Audit Committee to be quorate, at least two thirds of the members must participate. The majority of votes cast then elects the chairperson and deputy chairperson.

Harald Rossol was elected and is now Chairman of the IHK Examination Committee. He has become Chairman for the area of application development. His new position naturally also brings new tasks.

What does a chairperson do on the audit committee?

The chairpersons lead the IHK Examination Committee, meaning they are responsible for the organization and workflow within the committee. They are also responsible for ensuring smooth cooperation.

Mr. Rossol's extensive specialist knowledge and many years of experience in the field of IT make him the perfect candidate to chair the Audit Committee. This is also demonstrated by his award-winning IT service company b.r.m., which is a pioneer in IT security and green IT.

The IHK Examination Board of the Bremen Chamber of Industry and Commerce sets the examinations in training and further education. But what exactly is it, what tasks do the examiners have and how do you become an examiner?

IHK Examination Board

The Chamber of Industry and Commerce for Bremen and Bremerhaven is responsible for the organization, supervision and assessment of final examinations in the training and further education of the Chamber of Industry and Commerce professions. This involves not only theoretical but also practical parts of the training, which must be completed both orally and in writing.

There are examination boards for the various training courses. The members of the IHK examination board are not members of the Chamber of Industry and Commerce. However, new members are sought not only as examiners, but also as additional experts or as replacements for examiners who are leaving.

Tasks of an auditor

The tasks of an examiner are carried out together with a team of vocational school teachers, employer and employee representatives. The tasks include creating, correcting and assessing examination tasks and papers. In addition, work samples, presentations and documentation are assessed.

How do you become an examiner on the IHK Examination Board?

In order to be considered for appointment to an examination board, a number of requirements must be met. Sufficient professional expertise and a pedagogical flair are fundamental for the examiner. A certain degree of judgment and a sense of responsibility should also be present. The examiner must not be older than 65 years of age, but should have a mature personality.

The owner and managing director of Bremen-based IT service provider b.r.m., Harald Rossol, has been appointed to the examination board by the Bremen Chamber of Commerce. With his excellent experience in this industry, Mr. Rossol will serve on the examination board for IT specialists for application development until August 2024.
