The courses at Higher Technical College (HF) level provide you with specific specialist knowledge and specialist and management skills. These will qualify you to take on demanding specialist and management tasks and to manage a smaller company. With the HF diploma, you 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 the HF Tourism Specialist Diploma
Roberto, 23 years old at the time, worked for a small coach company in Basel-Stadt with 10 employees after completing his commercial apprenticeship with BM1. He worked there as a consultant and organized trips on behalf of customers: from the coach to the accommodation and meals in the respective destinations to the tourist activities on site. With his commercial apprenticeship and 5 years of professional experience, he earned CHF 4143 per month.
Roberto enjoyed his work at the Reisecar company - but he saw his future not only in traditional travel consulting, but also wanted to develop his own projects, preferably with an ecological focus. He therefore decided to train as a qualified tourism specialist HF while working. 3 years later, he passed his final examination with flying colors. In addition to his previous tasks, he was able to tackle his own project to improve the eco-balance of car travel at his employer and thus put his new knowledge to the test in his day-to-day work. Roberto has now been doing his more demanding job for 3 years. He currently earns CHF 4964 per month, which corresponds to a salary increase of just under 20%.
