Die meisten angebotenen Leadership Trainings sind CAS-Lehrgänge. Was ist das genau?
Most of the leadership training courses on offer are CAS courses. What exactly is that?
A large number of leadership training courses are CAS (Certificate of Advanced Studies) courses, but by no means all of them. A large number of training courses are certificate courses offered by schools, courses leading to Federal Professional Examination (AFPE), Advanced Federal Professional Examination (AFPE) or the diploma of a College of Higher Education. Other training courses are also available, such as postgraduate studies in Higher Education (NDS-CHE). And that is exactly what a CAS is, a postgraduate course of study at a University of Applied Sciences. This also means that these certificate courses are primarily aimed at people who already have a university degree or comparable training, who have many years of sound experience in leadership and who are prepared to undergo intensive, in-service leadership training, usually over the course of one semester. A CAS is therefore a continuing education, further training course for managers who want to acquire comprehensive knowledge and skills on a very specific topic, for example in CAS Corporate Responsibility / Social Management or Transcultural Communication.
