Gibt es auch einen eidgenössischen Abschluss, den ich an einer Dolmetscher Schule erlangen kann?
Is there also a federal qualification that I can obtain at an interpreting school?
It is possible to obtain the Swiss Federal Certificate in Intercultural Interpreting and Mediation in a multi-year course. However, this continuing education, further training is aimed at migrants who have a very good knowledge of the local official language as well as the interpreting language and are familiar with the cultural and linguistic differences between the two language areas. After completing the Swiss-recognized certificate in intercultural interpreting, you can go on to complete the required modules for the Federal Professional Examination at a suitable interpreting school and gain practical experience at the same time. Another option is a university degree course, which enjoys not only national but also international recognition and thus offers you a wide range of future prospects.
