The type of certificate depends on the type of continuing education, further training or course you have chosen. A course in Zurich can be a preparatory course for the Federal Professional Examination (FPE) or a leisure course that does not earn you a recognized certificate. You will usually receive a course certificate from all schools, for some courses even with the grades of the exams if you have passed them. You will usually also receive a certificate after completing a preparatory course for a federal examination. If you do not pass the exam, you will at least receive a certificate attesting to your training.

For some courses, there are a large number of providers throughout Switzerland, but also in individual cities, such as Zurich. It is therefore possible that you will find a considerable number of schools for courses in Zurich, especially in highly sought-after sectors, and you will have to choose between them. This is not always easy, as you often know little or nothing about the schools in question. It makes sense to contact the relevant training providers directly using our contact form and have them send you training and course documents. Read these thoroughly and identify some important selection criteria such as course details, experience and references, training managers, infrastructure, recognition and much more. Our guide "How to choose the right training provider" (see navigation bar "Education help" above) can also be helpful in your search for the right training provider.
