Swiss school system: education, further education, providers, information

The Swiss education system and Swiss school system is a successful model that is used as an example by countries around the world.

In the past, it was common for young people to make a definitive career choice after compulsory schooling ("Either you go to university or you do an apprenticeship and work"), but things are different today. With a vocational baccalaureate (BM1 and BM2), it is possible to switch to a university of applied sciences (UAS) even with an apprenticeship. However, even without a vocational baccalaureate, skilled professionals have access to higher vocational education and training, i.e. tertiary level.

Either way, the Swiss education system and the Swiss school system offer both young and experienced professionals numerous training and further education opportunities to take an even deeper look at their career path, (slightly) adjust it or even completely realign it - of course with the corresponding effort and commitment on the part of the person interested in education.

Two characteristics of the Swiss education system / Swiss school system in particular have led to this success:

• Dual vocational training - a success factor for the Swiss economy: basic vocational training takes place in a company on the one hand and at vocational school on the other. The result is high-quality training with direct access to the job market.
• Permeability - educational levels linked together: The Swiss education system / Swiss school system is structured in such a way that it is possible to switch between and within education levels. In principle, all professionals can continue their education; no professional group or level is excluded from the education and training on offer.

However, the many opportunities in the Swiss school system also have their downsides, and it is not uncommon for people interested in education to feel doubt and uncertainty. This is where schools, school staff and education professionals come into play. They should take people interested in education by the hand and guide them confidently through the educational jungle to their previously defined goal.

This requires appropriate knowledge and skills on the part of employees. They must not only be familiar with the Swiss education system / Swiss school system, but also with consulting methods and sales techniques specific to the education sector. This is the only way they can best meet and satisfy customer needs, which in turn is crucial to the school's success.
