Was ist der Unterschied zwischen einer Berufsprüfung wie z.B. "Marketingfachmann / Marketingfachfrau (BP) (ehemals Marketingplaner / Marketingplanerin (BP)" und wie z.B. "Marketingmanager / Marketingmanagerin (HF)"?

What is the difference between a Federal Professional Examination such as "Marketing Specialist (FPE) (formerly Marketing Planner (FPE)" and, for example, "Marketing Manager (CHE)"?

Federal Professional Examination (FPE):

  • Degree: Federal Diploma of Higher Education
  • Duration: Usually 1 year
  • Rather more topic-specific.
  • Final examination: One national final examination per year (completion rate approx. 60-70%, relatively high examination pressure)

Course at a College of Higher Education (CHE)

  • Degree: Federal Diploma
  • Duration: Usually 3 years
  • Subject-specific orientation Example: Marketing Manager (CHE)
  • Generalist orientation e.g. business economist (CHE)
  • Final examination: Permanent practical transfer through work (practical work, term papers, diploma thesis)
  • Generally less audit pressure
