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.".

Anyone wishing to train as a respiratory therapist has the opportunity to obtain a qualification that is recognized by the health insurance companies in order to work as a therapist. The prerequisite for this is usually completed vocational training or a university degree and, for some schools, a minimum age of 25. The training in breathing training is primarily aimed at people who are already working in complementary medicine and would like to expand their field of work or who would like to work in this area in the future and would like to deal intensively with health promotion, personal development and health promotion. Training in respiratory therapy is also ideal for anyone already working in the therapeutic, medical, artistic, educational or nursing field who is looking for an effective form of therapy for their patients.
