FAQ
TL;DR: 95 % of kkz.edu.pl attendees pass the state exam [Elektroda, Darek197301, post #18689636]; “My hint is Mechatronics” [Elektroda, miro.nasz, post #16551430] Both tracks cost ≈ PLN 200–350/month and differ mainly in practical scope. Why it matters: pick the route that delivers recognised qualifications and real skills without wasting two years.
Quick Facts
• KKZ weekend school fees: approx. PLN 350 × 24 ≈ PLN 8,400 [Elektroda, bodzio507, post #18212989]
• Online kkz.edu.pl bundle price: approx. PLN 800 per qualification [Elektroda, DKdesign, post #18212946]
• Required practice for EE.05/EE.26: 160 h minimum [Elektroda, DKdesign, post #18212946]
• Typical OKE pass threshold: 50 % written, 75 % practical (MEN Regulation 2019)
• OKE warns: remote-only KKZ without hands-on hours may be rejected [Elektroda, darkrider222, post #19327193]
What is the core difference between an Electrician Technician and a Mechatronics Technician KKZ?
Electrician programmes (EE.05/EE.26) focus on power installations, contactor–relay control and safety codes. Mechatronics adds pneumatics, PLC programming, drives and basic robotics. If you target pump and HVAC automatics, mechatronics covers more PLC logic and sensor integration [Elektroda, bodzio507, post #16551873]
Are online-only courses like kkz.edu.pl officially recognised?
Recognition depends on meeting MEN rules: 1) course registered with the regional OKE within 14 days; 2) includes required contact hours and on-site practice; 3) issues the MEN certificate. OKE reminded in Jan 2021 that purely remote courses without practical blocks can be rejected [Elektroda, darkrider222, post #19327193]
How much will a full Electrician Technician qualification cost?
Weekend schools charge about PLN 350 monthly for two years (≈ PLN 8,400) [Elektroda, bodzio507, post #18212989] kkz.edu.pl lists each online module at roughly PLN 800, so both EE.05 and EE.26 total ≈ PLN 1,600 plus exam fees.
What is the current exam pass rate?
A forum participant reports a 95 % pass rate for his kkz.edu.pl group, with many scoring 100 % on both theory and practice [Elektroda, Darek197301, post #18689636] Nationally, average KKZ pass rate hovers near 60 % according to OKE conference data cited in the same post.
Do I get professional rights immediately after the course?
No. The course grants only a MEN certificate. You must register for the OKE vocational exam. After passing, you hold the formal qualification, but some jobs (e.g., live electrical work) still require separate SEP G-1 licences [Elektroda, bodzio507, post #18564661]
How do employers view KKZ versus traditional tech school diplomas?
Hiring managers first check valid licences and hands-on ability. A traditional school name may impress HR, yet workshop supervisors mainly test skills at interview. Lacking practice hours is the common rejection reason [Elektroda, Arturayo, post #18564794]
Can I finish a KKZ in three months?
Fast-track offers exist, but MEN requires the full hour count (often 640+ hours) including 160 h of workplace practice. Several students who rushed found OKE refused their exam applications, sparking refund claims [Elektroda, endurorider125, post #19355893]
Edge case: what if the organiser liquidates before my exam?
If the provider dissolves, OKE may lack the required course registration, blocking your exam slot. Affected learners formed a class action to reclaim fees [Elektroda, hektor2040, post #19300139] Always verify the company’s KRS status before paying.
Is a two-year master’s degree a better option?
Complementary MSc programmes run two years, cost similar to technician schools and deepen theory in automation. Entry after a sanitation-engineering BSc often waives make-up courses [Elektroda, ^ToM^, #18213006].
How to legally sit the vocational exam in three steps?
- Enrol in a registered KKZ and obtain the MEN-format completion certificate.
- Submit the certificate to your regional OKE before the exam cut-off date.
- Pass written (≥50 %) and practical (≥75 %) tasks to gain the qualification [MEN Regulation 2019].
