FreD course types
The FreD program was created in 2000 as part of a federal model project. Since then, FreD has undergone continuous development in regular federal, state, and European projects.
Regular updates and additions to the program ensure that the offering is always up to date. In practice, this means that current topics and requirements are implemented.
Various types of FreD courses have been developed from the projects. More detailed information can be found under the individual projects.
