Is commercial school a substitute for a commercial apprenticeship?
If you have completed your compulsory schooling and do not yet have an apprenticeship diploma, a commercial diploma can certainly provide you with an entry into commercial professions, but it is not comparable with vocational training to become a Federal VET Diploma merchant, which is much more comprehensive and also federally recognized. However, if an apprenticeship is not possible, this diploma can be of great benefit to you. However, if you have already completed an apprenticeship in another field and now want to acquire in-depth commercial knowledge, a diploma of this kind can be of great additional benefit. However, the VSH commercial diploma should not be seen as a substitute for an apprenticeship, but rather as a supplement or preparation for a shortened basic education, adult education or full-time commercial school training to become a Federal VET Diploma merchant.
