A VSH office management diploma or VSH commercial diploma (VSH - Association of Swiss Commercial Schools) is not the same as an apprenticeship to become an EFZ businessman or businesswoman and is not federally recognized. However, a VSH office management diploma or VSH commercial diploma offers a very good entry into a commercial career.

Das Bürofachdiplom VSH (Verband Schweizerischer Handelsschulen) ist die erste Stufe der kaufmännischen VSH-Lehrgänge. Dieses Diplom verleiht kaufmännisches Basiswissen und erstreckt sich berufsbegleitend meist über ein Jahr. Aufbauend darauf kann das Handelsdiplom VSH erworben werden, welches das Bürofachdiplom voraussetzt. Dieses Diplom bietet Ihnen die Möglichkeit eine Tätigkeit beispielsweise als kaufmännische Sachbearbeiterin / als kaufmännischer Sachbearbeiter auszuüben oder mit weiterführenden Kursen den Lehrabschluss zum eidgenössischen Fähigkeitszeugnis EFZ zu erwerben.

Das Bürofachdiplom ist die kaufmännische Basisausbildung, auf der aufbauend das Handelsdiplom gemacht werden kann. Das bedeutet, dass Sie in jedem Fall zuerst das Bürofachdiplom abschliessen und dann, sollten Sie weiterhin lernen und sich fortbilden wollen, den Handelslehrgang besuchen, bis Sie das Handelsdiplom erreichen.

An office management diploma is the ideal entry into the office. Clerks with an office management diploma are often found in the reception area of a company, where they operate the switchboard, receive customers or guests and process incoming mail. They use computers to create letters, minutes and memos, tables and lists according to specifications. They manage the electronic and physical filing system, copy and distribute documents and are the first point of contact for everyone and everything. They manage office supplies, maintain office equipment and, depending on the position, are responsible for the public diary, general e-mail correspondence or monitoring payment transactions via the bank or post office.

The further training courses Office Management Diploma (as a first step) and the Commercial Diploma (building on the Office Management Diploma) are not recognized as fully-fledged commercial training like the Federal VET Diploma in Business Administration, but they are ideally suited as an additional qualification for people without a basic commercial education.

Die Weiterbildung Bürofachdiplom VSH dauert in der Regel 1 Jahr.
