2. At certificate level, the course content and admission requirements are generally not regulated and can be determined autonomously by the schools. However, the Swiss Association for Adult Education (SVEB) and the eduQua quality label provide clarity regarding content and admission.
3. In addition to sociability, communication skills and empathy, a high degree of responsibility as well as leadership and social skills are required to work as a trainer. Not everything can be acquired during training.

5. Even after obtaining the SVEB instructor certificate, the learning does not stop: If you want to work as a qualified trainer in adult education, you should complete the additional course in adult education and the Federal Professional Examination for Trainers.

With the SVEB certificate for trainers, you are generally employed in various companies and sectors as a practical trainer or vocational trainer.
