The qualification you can hold in your hand after successfully completing a lecturer training course depends entirely on how the training is designed.

If, for example, it is a postgraduate course at a university (CAS, DAS, MAS), then these conclude with a federally recognized degree.

If the course concludes with a so-called school certificate, this is not recognized by the Federal Office for Professional Education and Training. However, this does not mean that the qualification is worth less or that you will benefit less professionally!

There is no general answer as to whether a lecturer training course is also offered in online format. This is because the teaching formats are determined individually by the schools and can therefore vary from school to school.

It is best to contact the provider of your choice directly.

Lecturer training is generally aimed at teachers and head teachers as well as lecturers at teacher training colleges.

The costs for lecturer training are determined by the schools themselves. There can therefore be (large) differences. An approximate guide value is CHF 7'500.

It is best to compare the offers from different schools. Pay attention to what is included in the costs and what additional costs you may have to expect.

The duration of an instructor training course depends entirely on the training program. For example, if the training is designed as a course with a certificate, you can expect a comparatively short duration of a few days (approx. 2 - 15 days).

However, if lecturer training is defined as a postgraduate course at a Universities, for example, a CAS (Certificate of Advanced Studies) will take 6 months to complete and an MAS (Master of Advanced Studies) will take 24 months.
