Questions and answers

A survey of prospective students conducted by the education platform Ausbildung-Weiterbildung reveals the reasons for their interest in commercial diploma training. 77% want to check at the beginning of the interest phase whether the course meets their personal needs. 15 % follow a recommendation. However, 8% of respondents are interested in the diploma because it is often required in job advertisements.

 

Some people get to the heart of the matter with optional text responses:

  • "Diploma degree"
  • "I would like to use the commercial diploma as a preliminary course for a 4-semester course as a technician in HF construction management with a specialization in gardening and landscaping."
  • "I want a job where you can work from any location"
  • "Because I'm looking for an apprenticeship that I can do alongside my other job, but that is also recognized."
  • "For an introduction to CT work"
  • "For a colleague"
  • "Reorientation"
  • "One step closer to my vision..."
  • "This course could mean the start of a new career for me"
  • "I am very interested in this further training"

There are three degree options for the commercial diploma:

  • Internal school degree
  • VSH commercial diploma
  • Commercial diploma edupool.ch

The school-internal qualification is only recognized by the school that issues it. It is important that it is a proven and well-known school. In the case of the VSH commercial diploma, the diploma is issued by the Association of Swiss Commercial Schools (private schools). If this diploma is completed as basic training, the path leads via the office management diploma, the commercial diploma and entry into the last three semesters of the EFZ commercial apprenticeship with a B profile. If the VSH commercial diploma is taken as additional training as an adult with initial training (EFZ or Matura), it certifies a basic commercial qualification. This enables entry into the world of office work through the valuable addition of commercial knowledge to the first profession - but does not correspond to an EFZ as a commercial clerk. These facts about VSH supplementary training also apply to the Edupool commercial diploma. Anyone wondering whether VSH or Edupool should know: edupool.ch is an association of around 50 commercial further education centers of commercial vocational schools. This guarantees a uniform standard throughout Switzerland. When deciding between the VSH commercial diploma or Edupool, the question arises between a traditional qualification recognized throughout Switzerland with the title Kauffrau/Kaufmann VSH and corresponding recognition on the job market and a quality label for accredited commercial schools with a qualification from the Kaufmännischer Verband and renowned industry and professional associations. The Edupool level aims to close the gap between basic education and higher vocational education in the Swiss commercial education system. Thanks to the wide range of courses on offer, the degree is sure to become even better known.

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.

The VSH commercial diploma is offered in different variants:

  • VSH commercial diploma in basic commercial training (full-time day commercial school, more for young people)
  • VSH commercial diploma additional commercial training (part-time courses for adults)
    • Centralized" variant (with or without specialization) with final examinations at the end of the course
    • Variant "credit" (with or without specialization subject) with credit examinations at the end of the subject area to be examined during training
