Swiss school system: A successful model with a role model function

The Swiss education system and Swiss school system is a successful model that is used as an example by countries around the world.

In the past, it was common for young people to make a definitive career choice after compulsory schooling ("Either you go to university or you do an apprenticeship and work"), but things are different today. With a vocational baccalaureate (BM1 and BM2), it is possible to switch to a university of applied sciences (UAS) even with an apprenticeship. However, even without a vocational baccalaureate, skilled professionals have access to higher vocational education and training, i.e. tertiary level.

Either way, the Swiss education system and the Swiss school system offer both young and experienced professionals numerous training and further education opportunities to take an even deeper look at their career path, (slightly) adjust it or even completely realign it - of course with the corresponding effort and commitment on the part of the person interested in education.

Two characteristics of the Swiss education system / Swiss school system in particular have led to this success:

  • Dual vocational training - a success factor for the Swiss economy: basic vocational training takes place in a company on the one hand and at vocational school on the other. The result is high-quality training with direct access to the job market.
  • Permeability - educational levels linked together: The Swiss education system / Swiss school system is structured in such a way that it is possible to switch between and within education levels. In principle, all professionals can continue their education; no professional group or level is excluded from the education and training on offer.

However, the many opportunities in the Swiss school system also have their downsides, and it is not uncommon for people interested in education to feel doubt and uncertainty. This is where schools, school staff and education professionals come into play. They should take people interested in education by the hand and guide them confidently through the educational jungle to their previously defined goal.

This requires appropriate knowledge and skills on the part of employees. They must not only be familiar with the Swiss education system / Swiss school system, but also with consulting methods and sales techniques specific to the education sector. This is the only way they can best meet and satisfy customer needs, which in turn is crucial to the school's success.

Do you work in a school and would like to deepen your knowledge and obtain a certificate? Do you work in a management position in a school and do you think it is important that your employees are well trained in the Swiss school system / Swiss education system and can act professionally? Would you like to gain a professional foothold in the education sector? Then you've come to the right place with educational counseling training.

Questions and answers

There is no general answer as to how long a training course in the Swiss school system lasts. This is because the duration of training courses is determined autonomously by the schools.

As a rule, courses leading to a "school certificate" take a few days (approx. 2 - 15 days). For other courses with a federally recognized qualification, a longer training period must be expected.

Whether and to what extent training on the Swiss school system is offered in online teaching format depends on the school.

In recent years, many schools have expanded the teaching formats they offer. In addition to traditional face-to-face teaching, hybrid and online teaching as well as blended learning are now frequently available.

Whether you are admitted to the Swiss school system depends entirely on the admission requirements and whether you meet them. These are determined independently by the schools. They may therefore differ from school to school or from course to course.

It is best to contact the school of your choice directly.

The learning content of courses on the Swiss school system leading to a school certificate is not federally regulated. This means that the learning content is determined and compiled by the schools themselves. It is therefore possible that the learning content, for example its scope and weighting, may differ from school to school.

As a rule, the Swiss education system and the individual levels within it are examined in detail in a course on the Swiss school system. How is the Swiss education system structured? What are the success factors? Etc.

Please contact the provider of your choice and find out what the course material looks like or how it is structured.

Tip: Compare several schools at the same time so that you can best assess which school covers exactly the learning content that interests you the most.

Training in the Swiss school system is aimed at the following target group:

  • Schools that would like to have their employees professionally trained.
  • Employees of schools who wish to deepen their knowledge and skills in the Swiss education sector and obtain a corresponding certificate.
  • Private individuals who are interested in the subject and/or would like to gain a professional foothold in the education sector in the future.
