10 Advantages of the "Trainer" qualification

The further training for the federal certificate as an instructor is designed to be completed entirely on a part-time basis and can be completed without reducing the workload and therefore without loss of salary. The federally recognized title enables you to take on qualified tasks in adult education.

Summary of the most important advantages of further training as an instructor with a federal certificate:

  1. The course is very practice-oriented and a large part of the practical work can be carried out as part of your own work
  2. No federal final examination needs to be taken to obtain the federal certificate. Instead of the examination, the proof of competence from the individual module courses is assessed once again by federal experts.
  3. Anyone who has not yet completed the necessary practical hours at the end of the course receives a certificate of attendance and has a maximum of five years to request the certificate retrospectively
  4. The course for trainers is independent of subject and sector. It can be used for training activities in any subject area and any industry.
  5. There are course providers throughout Switzerland. This means there are many school locations to choose from
  6. In the part-time courses, the course days are spread over several months so that the workload can be easily managed
  7. The trainer courses are very practice-oriented and what you learn can be applied directly in everyday working life
  8. The SVEB (Swiss Association for Continuing Education) is a federally recognized organization of the working world (OdA) and represents the interests of continuing education. As a result, SVEB qualifications are recognized throughout Switzerland and enjoy a good reputation
  9. Since January 1, 2018, preparatory courses for federal professional examinations have been financially supported by the federal government. Graduates of SVEB courses can therefore receive a refund of up to 50% of the course costs paid after obtaining their professional certificate.
  10. The federal certificate "Instructor" enables qualified professionals and specialists to teach without having to complete a pedagogical degree.
