SERI decides on the equivalence of foreign certificates or diplomas.

The results of a survey conducted by Ausbildung-Weiterbildung.ch answer this question as follows: 68 % of respondents would like to see whether this course meets their needs. 19 %, on the other hand, say that the title of specialist in finance and accounting with a federal certificate is often requested in job advertisements. The course was actively recommended to 13% of survey participants. The additional comments from respondents revealed three further reasons for their interest in the finance and accounting specialist course:

  • Learning content - "It contains exactly the areas that I want to do during my working hours." and "Because I like working with numbers."
  • Confirmation of qualification - "My profession is accountant and I have been working as a chief accountant for many years. I would like to have my profession confirmed and improve my knowledge.", "I have already obtained a certificate in the same field in Spain.", "I have completed the Bilanzbuchhalter in Germany and would now like to work in Switzerland. My children are big enough (16, 14 and 13 years old)." and "Adaptation with diploma to my professional experience"
  • Expanding knowledge - "deepening existing specialist knowledge", "gaining more experience" and "I would like to expand my specialist knowledge and skills" and "I have already worked in accounting for 3 years. Now my husband is self-employed and I do his bookkeeping. I would therefore like to acquire more knowledge."
