Clerk for social insurance further training: What are the main disadvantages?

In the social insurance clerk training course, you will learn the basics of the three pillars and the wage and salary system as well as financing models and social insurance benefits. You will be able to use simple examples to calculate continued salary payments in the event of accidents and illness and prepare payroll accounting statements for social insurance providers.

The most important disadvantages of social security clerk training are:

1. The qualification after the social insurance clerk training course is not a federal certificate, but it is recognized nationally. As a VSK or Edupool diploma, the intermediate qualification in the form of recognized certificates from the Association of Swiss Management Schools or commercial further education centers is well-known in the industry and enjoys a corresponding reputation.
2. At certificate level, the course content and admission requirements are not usually regulated. As a rule, these can be determined autonomously by the schools. However, as these are examinations that are conducted and monitored by Edupool or VSK, these certificate examinations and title offers are regulated.
3. The pressure of the semi-annual audits is high, as they have to be delivered to the point.
4. Even after the examination following the social insurance clerk training course, the learning does not stop: Anyone wishing to work in a qualified position in the social insurance sector must then take the professional examination for social insurance specialists. This requires three years of professional experience in the social insurance sector. Federal subject funding only applies to this training if the professional examination is also passed at the end.

Social insurance administrators work primarily in human resources, for social insurance implementing bodies, public authorities or non-profit organizations.
