The cost of a consultation varies and depends on the provider and the time required.
At some counseling centers, initial consultations are free of charge or are charged at a lower rate. During the initial consultation, you determine the goals of the consultation and the number of sessions you would like to have. This will tell you how much the consultation will cost in total - if you agree on the consultation mandate.
You may also want to check the options in your canton of residence: some cantonal careers advice centers offer free advice to their residents.
Recipients of social assistance or IV and ALV benefits may receive a cost credit for a consultation. If necessary, speak to your social insurance contact person about this.
