Why do prospective students enquire about further training as a marketing specialist?
The results of a survey conducted by the education platform Ausbildung-Weiterbildung.ch show clear results regarding the reasons for school inquiries for further training as a marketing specialist. 53% of all participants enquired about schools on the basis of an online assessment. 14% of prospective students already knew the school or schools before enquiring for more details about their training courses. A further 33% of respondents initiated a school inquiry based on a recommendation. The demand for schools that are already known is certainly also due to the fact that many attend a basic course or preliminary course before continuing their marketing specialist training. One survey participant gave another reason in a text response or perhaps the aim of the inquiry was "general information". However, this is probably the aim of most of the school inquiries made. However, two other people have already completed their vocational baccalaureate or apprenticeship at the requested school. Other reasons include proximity to work or place of residence, start dates and simply as a result of an internet search.

"Eine rundum empfehlenswerte Weiterbildung! Der Lehrgang an der WSF Wirtschaftsschule Five hat meine Erwartungen voll erfüllt. Die Inhalte waren praxisnah und auf die aktuellen Anforderungen der Arbeitswelt abgestimmt. Die Dozierenden überzeugten durch ihre Fachkompetenz und die Fähigkeit, den Stoff verständlich und motivierend zu vermitteln. Besonders begeistert hat mich die flexible Unterrichtsgestaltung, die es mir ermöglichte, die Weiterbildung optimal mit meinem Berufsalltag zu verbinden. Die Organisation war hervorragend und ich habe mich immer gut betreut gefühlt. Ich kann die WSF jedem empfehlen, der sich beruflich weiterentwickeln möchte!

Die persönliche Betreuung, die kleinen Klassen im MMI und die auch mal flexiblen Nachholstunden sind top- Rückfragen sind jederzeit unkompliziert möglich. Alles ist sehr gut organisiert und mit vorausgesetztem persönlichen Engagement ist man sehr gut auf die eidg. Prüfungen vorbereitet. Lehrgang und Prüfung Marketingfachfrau an sich sollte meiner Meinung nach der Digitalisierung besser angepasst werden; die viele Schreibarbeit von Hand ist sehr mühsam.

Die Atmosphäre am MMI ist sehr persönlich und sympathisch. Ich schätze die begrenzte Grösse der Klassen und konnte von einem individuellen Unterricht profitieren. Alle Dozenten waren während dem ganzen Lehrgang sehr flexibel und boten, wo nötig, zusätzliche Unterstützung. Besuche in Firmen, an Messen oder Veranstaltungen sind sehr spannend und abwechslungsreich zum normalen Präsenzunterricht.

Ich habe mich gleich zu Beginn des Lehrgangs sehr wohl gefühlt. Die Schulleitung ist sehr bedacht bei jedem Anliegen eine passende Lösung zu finden. Bei Fragen oder Unklarheiten ist die Schulleitung wie auch die Dozenten sehr gut erreichbar. Auf die Prüfungen werden die Studenten intensiv vorbereitet. Ich kann die MBSZ nur weiterempfehlen.

Die MBSZ hat mich optimal auf die eidg. Prüfung vorbereitet, ich hätte es mir fast nicht besser wünschen können. Modularer Aufbau der Lerninhalte, zuerst intensiv fachliche Basis, danach darauf aufbauend Methodik und Prüfungsvorbereitung. Hohe fachliche Qualität, die meisten haben spürbar Spass am Dozieren / Leifenschaft fürs Fach. Würde den Lehrgang absolut weiterempfehlen 9/10

Die Schule und die Infrastruktur gefällt mir sehr gut. Ich finde auch die Unterrichtsgestaltung bei den meisten Lehrpersonen sehr gut. Ich hoffe, dass die Lernstoffvermittlung und der Unterricht im Fach Marketing spannender vermittelt wird. Es wird im Fach Marketing teilweise fix nach einem vordefinierte Programm unterrichtet mit wenig Spielraum. Ich schätze es, dass wir teilweise einige Minuten früher Schluss haben, da niemand mehr klar denken kann.

Grundsätzlich war der Lehrgang und die Lehrpersonen gut bis sehr gut und wir konnten sehr profitieren. Da wir die erste Klasse der neuen Reform waren gab es viele Unklarheiten welche auch nicht geklärt wurden und darunter waren auch wichtige Informationen betreffend Prüfungsabläufe und Testprüfungen usw.

Ich habe das Gefühl, auch verglichen mit anderen Schulen, sind wir am HKV Aarau sehr gut vorbereitet worden auf die Prüfungen. Was sicherlich unglücklich war, ist die Tatsache, keine Vorbereitungsprüfungen nach neuem Format geschrieben zu haben.

die hkv aarau hat mich von anfang an in ihren bann gezogen. marco hat mich am infoanlass begeistert und extrem motiviert, weshalb ich mich für aarau entschieden habe. den lehrgang würde ich jedem empfehlen, weil es eine super basis für das marketing ist. man sieht in viele teile des marketings etwas tiefer, was sehr spannend und kurzweilig ist. die dozenten im allgemeinen fand ich wirklich cool, ich konnte viel profitieren und einige haben mich sehr beeindruckt ab ihrem wissen und ihren leistungen.

Da wir die ersten nach neuer Reform waren, war es nicht ganz einfach. Teilweise wurden zu viele Unterrichtsstunden für Fächer eingeplant welche dann nur Randthemen waren. Ansonsten gute Dozenten mit hohem Fachwissen und Praxisbezug.

Top Dozenten mit enormen Fachwissen, stets freundlich. Kommunikation hat grösstenteils funktioniert. Schwerpunktsetzungen des Lehrgangs müssen überdacht werden (Beispiel: - 16h Rechtsunterricht für eine Prüfungsfrage - Rechnungswesen kürzen, Distribution ausbauen). Prüfungstrainings früher ansetzen.
