The "Advanced Business Diploma" course builds on the training level of the commercial apprenticeship diploma and provides advanced knowledge in the commercial and business management field. Business specialists at this level of education are in great demand on the job market. They are the generalists of the economy and have a sound business management education. As this course is strongly geared towards the practice of SME companies and is at an intermediate level between federally recognized qualifications, it is less well known in internationally oriented companies. This applies in particular to the designations "Higher Business Diploma VSK or Edupool" and the title "Business Specialist". However, the skills taught on the course are in high demand.
