The Army Training Centres, together with the Army Training Schools, form the training establishments of the German Army within the Bundeswehr. They are subordinated to the German Army Office (Heeresamt).

For example, many centres that are charged with basic and continuation training for an arm or service are run by a general who is the head of arm, such as the General of the Armoured Corps.
