Ist meine Ausbildung in der Schweiz anerkannt?

Whether and to what extent your foreign training is recognized or accepted in Switzerland is not within the competence of Ausbildung-Weiterbildung.ch to judge.

To do this, please contact

• for vocational training qualifications to theState Secretariat for Education, Research and Innovation (SERI)
• for university degrees to theSWISS ENIC (Swissuniversities)

SERI has the authority to issue a level confirmation or equivalence recommendation for foreign diplomas and certificates in the field of vocational education and training (VET) and higher vocational education and training. The letter from SERI will let you know which professional activities are possible in Switzerland with the foreign qualification. A distinction is made between regulated and non-regulated professions.
Note:In Switzerland, there is no recognition authority for non-regulated professions, so applications for jobs must be submitted directly to the employer. You can obtain more informationhere.

You can find a list of regulated professions herehere.

The Swiss ENIC can issue a so-called recognition recommendation for foreign university degrees that lead to a non-regulated profession.
But beware:The recommendation for recognition is not a recommendation for admission to studies. The education provider decides whether and to what extent your education from abroad meets the requirements of an apprenticeship or continuing education, further training. Recognition is therefore subject to the registration and admission procedure of the respective school.
