The CREW Academy
Advanced training options for CREW members
“Life isn’t about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.” In line with this quote by George Bernard Shaw, we created our CREW Academy. In addition to German and English lessons, we also offer CREW Learning Nuggets. These are short workshops that can easily be done during a break or after work.
CREW Learning Nuggets
The CREW Learning Nuggets allow you to expand your professional and personal horizons. You can choose from little learning nuggets on various current topics.
For instance, during the 2024/2025 winter season, you can choose from the following courses: Communication and Rhetoric, Becoming a Patisserie Chocolate Expert, First Aid Course, Fascinating Facts about Wine, Cheese and Gin for Aspiring Baristas.
The CREW Learning Nuggets are all created by “local heroes“. If you have expert knowledge in a certain field, why not share your expertise with the CREW?
