Degree, diploma and title
In medical secretary training / hospital secretary further training, each module, i.e. subject, is usually examined individually and also completed at the same time (so-called intermediate examinations).
However, some schools also hold final examinations in which the subject matter taught is tested in a large examination at the end of the course.
Please contact the provider of your choice directly to find out which examination system the school uses.
Diploma and title
Successful graduates receive the school's own certificate/diploma "Medical and hospital secretary (school abbreviation)"
What does "school certificate / diploma" mean?
Certificates from schools or organizations (so-called school certificates) are not recognized by the Federal Office for Professional Education and Training (SERI). However, this does not mean that the qualifications are less prestigious in the relevant sectors or less good than federally recognized diplomas. There are numerous training courses that conclude with a school's own certificate and are absolutely profitable and career-enhancing.
There are many advantages of school certificates:
- They have a foreseeable course duration so that you can reach your training goal quickly.
- The courses are offered at a reasonable cost.
- They offer a good opportunity to familiarize yourself with a new topic or to get a taste of it, as well as to delve deeper into certain topics.
