Higher Business Diploma (HWD) with VSK certificate: Business management skills for business people and career changers
The commercial further education course leading to a Higher Business Diploma (HWD) with VSK certificate provides in-depth knowledge of business administration and management. It has a generalist focus and is particularly suitable for professionals with a basic commercial education (level VSH commercial diploma or KV EFZ) who wish to take on management tasks and aspire to a management position.
The Higher Business Diploma (HWD) creates a solid foundation for further business management training at the higher vocational education and training level, such as technical business management with a federal certificate or management specialist with a federal certificate.
The HWD training can be completed either with the VSK diploma from the Association of Swiss Management Schools or with the edupool diploma from the commercial further education centers (KV schools). Both organizations offer commercial training and further education for various target groups (VSK since 2000, edupool since 2001) and are regarded as well-established, high-quality labels. Their diplomas are recognized throughout Switzerland and are highly regarded by employers.
The continuing education program concludes with the titles "dipl. Wirtschaftsfachmann HWD/edupool" and "dipl. Wirtschaftsfachfrau HWD/VSK". Certified business specialists have knowledge of business administration, economics, law, communication, marketing, sales, leadership as well as project, personnel and process management and are therefore able to take on demanding commercial activities in all sectors.
Ambitious business people who have a basic knowledge of accounting and would like to move into or up into management, and other professionals with a basic knowledge of accounting who would like to move from the store or workshop to the office, are well on course with a Higher Business Diploma HWD.
