Kann ich gleich nach meinem Lehrabschluss die Weiterbildung zur Kindererzieherin bzw. Kindheitspädagogin anschliessen?
Can I continue my education, further training as a child educator immediately after completing my apprenticeship?
If you have completed an apprenticeship as a childcare specialist Federal VET Diploma (FaBe) or an equivalent qualification, you are entitled to start continuing, further training as a childcare teacher CHE (formerly child educator CHE) directly after your apprenticeship - if you pass the aptitude test.
If you have a non-specialist apprenticeship qualification or a Baccalaureate, Specialized Baccalaureate, federally recognized secondary school certificate or another equivalent qualification, it is not possible to study for a CHE degree directly afterwards. In such a case, in addition to the aptitude assessment, a pre-study internship of at least 400 hours in the field of childhood education must first be completed. At least 800 hours for persons with a purely school-based education.
