Benötige ich für die Weiterbildung zur Kindheitspädagogin HF (oder wie man früher sagte: Kindererzieherin HF) schon Erfahrung auf diesem Gebiet?
Do I already need experience in this field for continuing education, further training as a childhood educator CHE (or as it used to be called: child educator CHE)?
Please note: Since 2021, the training and job title has been "dipl. Kindheitspädagogin CHE" / "dipl. Kindheitspädagoge CHE"
Yes, it is necessary that you already have professional experience in this field before studying Childhood Education CHE (formerly: Childhood Education CHE):
- If you have a Federal VET Diploma or a secondary school leaving certificate, you must have worked in the field of childhood education for at least 400 hours prior to the Childhood Education CHE course; this corresponds to approximately six months of full-time work.
- If you have a purely academic upper-secondary level qualification (Matura), you need 800 hours of professional experience in the field of childhood education.
You can find out the other admission requirements from the schools.
