Technischer Kaufmann Schwierigkeitsgrad: Wie schwer ist die Technischer Kaufmann Prüfung und wie hoch ist die Technischer Kaufmann Durchfallquote?

Since 1991, there have been over 13,000 successful candidates for the Technischer Kaufmann examination and it is one of the most widely taken Federal Professional Examinations. However, the difficulty of the Technischer Kaufmann exam should not be underestimated. Candidates have to spend four examination days on the federal examination and CHF 1,800 (3 days written and one day oral). According to statistical data from Anavant, the Swiss Association of Technical Executives, the average pass rate for the technical salesperson exam over the last five years is around 67.4 %. This means that a good two thirds of participants pass the Federal Professional Examination.

This means that the Technical Business Administrator failure rate over the last five years is over 33% - just under a third. In 2018, the pass rate for all federal vocational diplomas was just under 65% - so the difficulty level of the technical salesperson should not be disregarded. The degree of difficulty of the Technical Business Administrator is therefore slightly above the average for all Federal Professional Examinations - those in the fields of journalism, transportation, horticulture, nursing, therapy, rehabilitation, electricity and energy are more difficult. The challenges in avoiding this technical salesperson failure rate certainly lie in the breadth of knowledge required and the new activity in the working environment. The latter requires computer skills, new ways of thinking and knowledge of economic relationships. Thanks to a subsidy from the federal government, participants receive up to 50% of their training costs back after passing the exam (regardless of the outcome). However, those who do not pass the Technical Business Management Assistant exam can retake it.
