Questions and answers
When do the preparatory courses for the qualification procedure take place?
The preparatory courses for the qualification procedure often take place in the evenings or on Saturdays. However, they can also take place once a week throughout the day. This varies depending on the provider. Please enquire directly with the training provider of your choice. As a rule, you will work 60 to 80 percent of the time in your profession to gain further experience.
What is catch-up training Art. 32?
Catch-up training Art. 32 is a shortened apprenticeship for adults with professional experience that leads to a federal qualification in basic vocational training.
How long does catch-up training for adults take?
As a rule, catch-up training for adults (adult apprenticeship) Art. 32 lasts one year less than the apprenticeship for young people. The apprenticeship as a restaurant specialist EFZ lasts 3 years and this would mean 4 years for catch-up training. In certain cantons, however, the Art. 32 BBV for restaurant specialists can be completed in 4 semesters (i.e. 2 years) while working. It is best to find out directly from the training provider about the duration of your desired catch-up training.
Do I have to pay the costs of catch-up training myself?
Some cantons will cover the costs of catch-up training to become a plant operator with a Federal Diploma of Vocational Education and Training (VET Diploma), provided that the training takes place in your canton of residence and the VET office pays your school fees. You should always clarify this in advance in individual cases.
We recommend contacting the provider directly if you have any questions - simply and easily via our contact form or the "Ask a question" button.
