VSH commercial diploma: Experience report on the course by Vllaznim Buduri
Tell us about your career.
I first completed my apprenticeship as an automotive mechatronics technician (Federal VET Diploma). I then completed the VSH commercial diploma. I am currently also studying for a Federal Diploma of Higher Education in technical business management to deepen my skills and increase my career opportunities.
Are you currently still working in a car workshop or are you already in the office?
Once I had the VSH commercial diploma, I also got a job in the office pretty quickly and I'm thrilled about my move to CT.
Why did you decide to complete the VSH commercial diploma?
However, quite soon after my apprenticeship as an automotive mechatronics technician, I realized that I saw my professional future in the commercial sector. I wanted to switch to the office and therefore decided to do the VSH commercial diploma at the Migros Club School in Bern - and I am still happy with this decision today.
How did you benefit from the course content?
The fact that I had to deal with the subject of law during my continuing education, further training was very beneficial to me. Contract law in particular is very useful to me in my current job. I was also very interested in accounting during my commercial diploma and it helps me in my day-to-day work. I also learned a lot about the economic market in the area of business administration and can now see and understand the interrelationships in the economy.
What tips would you give to people who are aiming for a trading diploma?
You have to really want to go back to school and enjoy learning. Because nothing works without learning! This continuing education, further training for a commercial diploma sometimes requires you to put your hobbies and family on hold so that you don't miss the boat. If you don't want to go back to school, it's better not to do this continuing education, further training.
Has your market value increased since you completed this continuing education, further training?
Yes, of course. I got a great job in the office. Without this course, that would never have been possible and if it had been, I would never have been as competent as I am today.
Who would you recommend taking the commercial diploma?
The course is really great if you want to switch from the technical field or the construction industry to the office. But even if you want to switch to sales (e.g. car sales), the VSH commercial diploma is a great basis.
