The adViva AKADEMY was launched in early 2019 with the aim of providing a professional platform for the company's expertise in health issues. Supported by renowned speakers from science and industry, acknowledged practitioners and industry partners, as well as experts from within the company itself, the AKADEMY addresses highly topical issues in which the company's philosophy of “we help people move” always plays a role.
Practical benefits are the central theme of all events. An interdisciplinary perspective and a solution-oriented approach are important foundations that are reflected in the way adViva works.
The ACADEMY also has two modern, bright seminar rooms with barrier-free access, which can be rented by the hour or by the day for events. They are suitable for conferences, training courses, workshops, lectures, or seminars for groups of approximately 10 to 60 participants. The spacious foyer of the company premises can also be rented on request and offers an attractive setting for special events on a larger scale. Personal support, technical equipment, and conference packages are included in this offer.

Your Career Start at adViva
Training at adViva – A Matter Close to Our Heart!
We offer apprenticeships in the following professions:
Orthopedic Technician (m/f/d)
At adViva, orthopedic technicians create custom-made technical aids for patients based on a doctor’s prescription. These aids help treat orthopedic issues and impairments of the musculoskeletal system, joint misalignments, and instabilities.
Our products include prostheses and orthoses. We also produce specialized braces, corsets, and rehabilitation equipment such as seating shells and customized wheelchairs.
Depending on the device, fittings are carried out during the production process to check and adjust the fit as needed.
Orthopedic technicians also advise customers on choosing the right device, take medical histories, measure the affected body parts, and create models. They also repair, maintain, and adjust the devices and instruct customers on their use and handling.
Healthcare Management Assistant (m/f/d)
Healthcare management assistants are trained in Germany’s dual vocational system, which combines practical training at the company with theoretical lessons at vocational school.
This occupation is also a good opportunity for retraining, e.g., for nurses, geriatric caregivers, etc., and is offered both as initial training and by training institutes.
During in-company training, apprentices work in various administrative departments, such as goods receiving, reception, accounting, purchasing, or billing.
Retail Salesperson (m/f/d) – Medical Supply Store
Retail salespersons in a medical supply store present and sell products such as braces, ready-made orthoses, everyday aids, shoes, compression stockings, or walking aids.
They inform and advise customers, check inventory levels, and reorder goods as needed.
