Online Building Refurbishment and Structural Restoration Course

This program provides specialized technical expertise for evaluating, preserving, and modernizing existing building structures from the ground up. It is specifically designed for trade craftspeople seeking professional specialization, residential property managers needing to fulfill continuing professional development requirements under German broker and property developer regulations (MaBV), and committed real estate owners planning or executing building renovations.

The curriculum delivers thorough instruction in architectural history, structural condition diagnosis, and specialized restoration techniques across all major building elements. Participants examine earth-contact components including foundations and basement sealing, wall and masonry refurbishment, exterior plastering, composite thermal insulation systems, joint repairs, and sustainable ecological building practices. Further core modules explore the remediation of timber, concrete, natural stone, and metal elements, alongside comprehensive methods for roof insulation, green roof construction, and historical preservation standards without demanding complex structural calculations.

Students learn through 24 specialized study booklets provided in both print and digital formats, paired with a modern Online Study Center that facilitates task submission and community exchange. Dedicated remote instructors review coursework with individualized feedback, while the integrated, award-winning KILEA artificial intelligence study companion offers 24/7 instant guidance and revision support. Successful completion leads to the state-approved ILS course certificate, with optional English certification available for international applications.

Applicants require foundational technical comprehension as well as basic knowledge in mathematics, natural sciences, and building techniques. Enrollment is open continuously via the institution's registration portal, and learners can test all instructional services risk-free during a four-week trial period.
