Was heisst «schuleigenes Zertifikat»? Was ist damit gemeint?
What does "school certificate" mean? What does it mean?
In the Swiss education system, courses that conclude with a school's own certificate are classified as "non-formal continuing education". (see Swiss education system)
They are not recognized by the Federal Office for Professional Education and Training. However, this does not mean that the qualifications are less highly regarded in the relevant sectors or are of lower quality than federally recognized diplomas. The school's own certificates can also be absolutely profitable and career-enhancing.
Courses leading to a "school certificate" are not federally regulated, which means that the course content, duration, costs, methods, etc. can vary (greatly) from provider to provider. It is therefore important to compare the courses on offer.
