Designing and developing machines, systems and architecture is the main task of a technician in the field of construction and design. A CAD course (computer-aided design) will teach you the basics of technical drawing as well as the production of models. These models can be used to carry out tests and simulations and thus determine the opportunities and risks for the buildings.

Are you already advanced in the field of construction and would you like to complete the higher technical college to become a construction technician (HF)? With this training or further training, you will be working in the middle management of a company and carrying out challenging and varied tasks. Project management and leading a team are just as much a part of your job as planning and monitoring projects.

As a design technician, you are in contact with engineers on the one hand and technical workers on the other. You also respond to the wishes of customers and try to reconcile their concerns with your specialist knowledge and the technical and economic possibilities.

Take a step forward in your professional life! Find suitable schools for your training, whether it's a course of study or a degree at a higher technical college. The Swiss education portal provides you with numerous offers on the subject of construction.

Note: Since fall 2022, the HF technician courses (formerly "Techniker HF Fachrichtung") have been given a separate framework curriculum and a new title for each specialization. For example, the course "Technician HF Mechanical Engineering" is now called "Mechanical Engineering Technician HF". In addition, the specializations have been abolished.
