The"Upgrading"of the qualification "Timber construction foreman"from the association diploma to the federal certificateis linked to developments in the timber construction industry: as a renewable resource with a favorable CO2 balance, timber as a building material has experienced a real boom in recent years. As this is accompanied by numerous new application possibilities and technical/technological innovations, the educational pathways in timber construction have been adapted.
The basic vocational training for carpenters EFZ and carpenters EFZ (not "carpenters" - this term refers to activities in the hotel and catering industry) has therefore been extended from three to four years of training. The foreman examination is now carried out in cooperation with the federal government. Higher vocational training in timber construction now comprises three qualifications at two levels: the professional examination for foreman with a federal diploma, the professional examination for timber construction foreman with a federal diploma and finally the higher professional examination for "timber construction master craftsman with a federal diploma".
Professional development is very important in the timber construction industryand is also laid down in its collective employment agreement (CEA). In this way, the industry ensures the transfer and ongoing development of knowledge and theoretical and practical skills. Qualified timber construction foremen with a federal certificate are in high demand and there are numerous job advertisements aimed at them.
The fact that the preparatory courses are often fully booked months before they start shows just how well-known and sought-after the qualification as a timber construction foreman with a federal certificate is.
