10 Advantages of the "Accounting Clerk" qualification

Are you looking for sound training or further education in accounting? By qualifying as an accounting clerk, you will lay the foundation for your professional career and open up further educational opportunities.

Summary of the most important advantages of training as an accounting clerk with Edupool certificate:

  1. The accounting administration course is the ideal first training course for people with a basic commercial education who do not yet want to commit to a longer and more expensive training course
  2. The Accounting Clerk qualification forms an intermediate stage between the apprenticeship qualification and access to the federal professional examination and enables you to take on more demanding commercial activities with qualified tasks in accounting.
  3. Some providers of the VSH commercial diploma course offer their graduates a seamless transition into this clerk training program
  4. The course offers career changers and those returning to work an opportunity to gain a foothold in the field of accounting even without specific professional experience
  5. The part-time course can be completed in two, three or four semesters, depending on the intensity of the course, and can therefore be completed in addition to other commitments.
  6. There are many providers and many teaching models such as evening, day or Saturday classes as well as modular block courses, so that a suitable offer can be found for every need
  7. Depending on the school, the course can be completed with the Edupool, VSK or VEB certificate. All three certificates are sponsored by recognized commercial industry associations and are highly regarded throughout Switzerland
  8. Following the certificate as an accounting clerk, further clerical certificates can be acquired in subsequent semesters (e.g. fiduciary, tax or human resources)
  9. Most providers of accounting clerk courses also offer the advanced courses in accounting and fiduciary accounting, so that it is possible to continue at the same school.
  10. Since 1.1.2018, preparatory courses for federal professional examinations have been financially supported by the federal government. Anyone who attends the Accounting Clerk course as preparation for the "Specialist in Finance and Accounting" professional examination course can therefore receive up to 50% of the course fees back after taking the professional examination.
