Brauche ich für die BP zur Kommunikationsplanerin einen bestimmten Lehrabschluss?

Do I need a specific apprenticeship qualification for the FPE in Communication Planning?

No, no special apprenticeship qualification is required for continuing education, further training as a communication planner with Federal Diploma of Higher Education. You can start the continuing education, further training with an Advanced Federal Diploma of Higher Education in Business Administration (Federal VET Diploma Kaufmann / Kauffrau) as well as with an Federal VET Diploma in graphic design or sales, a commercial high school diploma, at least three years of secondary school diploma training, a high school diploma, an AFPE in the commercial field, a degree from a Universities or University of Applied Sciences in the commercial field or a Federal Diploma of Higher Education in PR, Marketing, Sales or Direct Marketing. In addition, you need a valid MarKom admission exam from the last five years (only mandatory until the 2018 examination year) and at least two years of professional experience in sales, marketing, direct marketing, advertising or public relations. If you do not have any of these qualifications, you can still take the Federal Professional Examination, provided you have at least three years of professional experience in the above-mentioned areas.
