Team leaders are no longer solely responsible for their own work performance, but also for shaping the working conditions of others. They plan and organize the work, ensure the provision of materials and equipment, assign the work and check the employees' work reports. As supervisors, they monitor compliance with health and safety regulations, mediate in the event of conflicts or decide on contentious issues. If unforeseen difficulties arise, they work with all those involved to find efficient and feasible solutions. In addition to monitoring work progress and deadlines, they also keep an eye on running costs and ensure effective communication with other stakeholders, superiors, suppliers and customers.

Conclusion:

Before you want to complete the "Team leader in the technical-production sector with Swissmem certificate" course, you should be convinced that you really enjoy a management role. The course description should also appeal to you. If you have answered these first two questions with a clear "yes", you can continue to look into this course. If you are unsure about these questions, you should consider which other further training courses are also suitable for you.

If you do not meet the admission requirements because you do not have a Swiss apprenticeship qualification, please contact theAssociationabout your options.

If you do not have a technical apprenticeship qualification or management experience, take a look at other courses or further training in the areas of team leader, group leader, management or leadership.

Financing further training is not always easy. Several thousand francs may have to be paid within a short period of time. Although it is helpful for participants to continue working during the course and thus earn money for the entire duration of the training, this can place a heavy burden on a personal budget. If you are unable to finance the training or the additional costs incurred on your own, it is sometimes possible to obtain a loan from a private source. Some banks and credit institutions also offer educational loans. A good argument for financing further education is the relatively quick amortization of costs through wage increases. Do the following calculation: How much would a wage increase of 10% per year amount to? How many years would you need to recoup the costs of the course? How much more will you earn over your entire working life as a result of this pay rise? In most cases, this is a six-figure sum, which confirms that training or further education is the best personal investment there is.

The time required for training or further education should not be underestimated. Going out, vacations and spontaneous wellness weekends often fall by the wayside. However, this time usually passes relatively quickly. The prospect of better job opportunities and more pay should be motivation enough to get through this time. It often helps to organize yourself into study groups. It also makes sense to stick with it right from the start and schedule fixed study times. Good learning effects can be achieved by creating summaries and mind maps. Flashcard systems help with memorization. There are many tools and ideas to make learning easier. You can obtain the guide "The personal learning strategy" free of charge if you register with a school via Ausbildung-Weiterbildung.ch.

If you have doubts about whether you will pass the final exam, you can expect that every school has an interest in ensuring that as many of your students as possible pass the final exams. Talk to your head teacher or course leader and ask about support options. But with good motivation, perseverance and hard work, it is generally possible to pass these exams. If you suffer from exam anxiety, good preparation, various practical tips, therapeutic treatments or, in severe cases, even medication can help. You can obtain the guide "Overcoming exam anxiety" if you register with a school via Ausbildung-Weiterbildung.ch. Here you will also findsuitable providerson the subject of test anxiety.

The benefits of further training are usually measured in terms of a higher salary, more challenging tasks or promotions. This presupposes that you make an effort to change your professional position accordingly and, if necessary, are able to assert your demands. If you have already experienced that this is not always so easy for you, you could also check whether personal job coaching could be of benefit to you in addition to further training.

Now it's up to you to decide. If in doubt, seek personal advice from a school or external advice center. If you enquire about course or training documents via www.ausbildung-weiterbildung.ch, you will receive a free educational or school consultation worth CHF 150.00 on request.
