The platform Ausbildung-Weiterbildung.ch surveyed people interested in respiratory therapy. The results of the survey showed that 82% of school inquiries were triggered by online reviews. 15 % enquired about schools recommended to them for more details on further training as a respiratory therapist. 3 % already knew the school they were interested in attending beforehand. However, the online presence of schools is also becoming increasingly important, as shown by answers that survey participants optionally used: "Because I came across these training centers through a Google search", "found via Google search", "Internet", "interesting homepage", "I did some research and came across it", "start date is suitable", "I listen to my gut feeling", "spontaneously", "saw on SRF1" and "I want to check the offers". Many schools improve their online visibility by listing themselves on our platform. Other answers show the importance of location: "your school is near me" and "because it is close to where I live". Someone gave the following reason: "Because the school has decades of experience and was the first school to be recognized.".

People are interested in a course on respiratory therapy for a variety of reasons. This is also shown by a survey conducted by the education platform Ausbildung-Weiterbildung.ch. This revealed that 95% of respondents are still comparing the course content and further training with their own needs. 4 % of survey participants show interest on the basis of a recommendation. For 1% of those interested in the respiratory therapist course, interest was triggered by mentions in job advertisements. Someone gave a very specific and personal reason for their interest in the respiratory therapy course: "As an opera/jazz singer and teacher, I would finally like to realize my desire to learn this profession as well". Other people stated "Professional interest", "I work in singing bowls and yoga", "I would like it as an addition to my physiotherapy work in the hospice", "Because I am incredibly interested in the subject, breathing is our origin, our source of strength", "I have learned about the positive effects through self-awareness", "Professional reorientation", "I wonder how breathing affects the whole person", "I have the feeling that it is very helpful to me personally and in my work with my patients." and "Because I can help a lot of people with this training and also do it for myself. It is an opportunity that I would like to take" as reasons. This person seems to have really found their calling: "Respiratory therapy incorporates all my interests and strengths. I know the important and extensive effects of breathing. It was mentioned to me in my meditation. I already work a lot with breathing, meditation, relaxation... it suits me!"
