Wann kann ich eine verkürzte Lehre «Fachfrau/Fachmann Gesundheit» absolvieren?

For the shortened "Healthcare specialist" apprenticeship, you need previous training in the healthcare sector and a few years of professional experience. You must clarify whether you meet the requirements directly with the school. The apprenticeship period can be shortened by one year if the learner has successfully completed the QV Assistentin/Assistent Gesundheit und Soziales (AGS) Federal VET Certificate. Other previous training and professional experience are taken into account individually in accordance with BBV Art. 4 Para. 1. The decision lies with the cantonal authority. Entry into the shortened apprenticeship is usually via an apprenticeship contract and not via the school. Adults with appropriate prior education and work experience can generally complete the apprenticeship in two years.
