In this HF course, you will acquire specific specialist knowledge as well as technical and management skills. This will enable you to take on demanding specialist and management tasks and also manage a smaller company. Once you have obtained your HF diploma, you will have a good chance of increasing your salary.
The salary or salary development depends on various factors, such as the industry, region, size of the company, professional experience, previous education and age. In terms of salary, the question of whether a new position and function in the previous or another company will be taken up with the degree is also decisive.

Example of a salary increase with the acquisition of a diploma as a building technician HF (formerly technician HF building technology)
After completing his apprenticeship as an EFZ heating fitter, Andreas continued to work for the same large heating company with 60 employees in Solothurn. He carried out various jobs there: He installed solar systems, repaired and vented existing heating systems, etc. With his 4-year apprenticeship and 4 years of professional experience as a qualified EFZ heating fitter, the then 24-year-old earned CHF 5768 per month.
Andreas liked his work: he was able to live out his passion for craftsmanship, was always on the move and had lively customer contact. He found the technical developments, which were constantly bringing new things, very exciting. However, his desire and long-term goal was to become self-employed, which is why he was looking for further training that would both advance his technical skills and cover management/leadership aspects. A colleague at work recommended a 3-year part-time HF course to become a building technician. Andreas completed this course, passed the diploma examination with ease and was able to take over the management of a team of six at his employer two years later. Andreas has now been working as a skilled worker with a management function for 4 years. The now 34-year-old currently earns CHF 7761 per month, which corresponds to a salary increase of almost 35%.
