Questions and answers
As a FaBe, can I do a shortened HF course in childhood education?
As a childcare specialist (FaBe) with a Federal Diploma of Vocational Education and Training, you have the option of shortening your training in childhood education at a College of Higher Education. The CHE training course to become a qualified childhood educator CHE is usually shortened by one year with this previous training.
I already have an apprenticeship as a FaBe. Is it true that I can do a shortened course of study in childhood education?
Yes, it is possible to complete a shortened CHE course to become a childhood educator with an apprenticeship qualification as a childcare specialist.
In this case, the course lasts at least 3600 learning hours. By comparison, a CHE degree course in childhood education for people with another upper-secondary level qualification takes at least 5400 learning hours.
Do I need an apprenticeship qualification in care or nursing for the HF course in childhood education?
For admission to the HF program for Childhood Educators (formerly Kindererzieher HF / Kindererzieherin HF), it is ideal if you have a Federal Certificate of Competence (EFZ) as a Childcare Specialist (FaBe) or an equivalent qualification.
However, you can also start training at a college of higher education in childhood education with a different EFZ. In this case, however, practical experience of at least 400 hours is required.
Can I continue my education, further training as a child educator immediately after completing my apprenticeship?
If you have completed an apprenticeship as a childcare specialist Federal VET Diploma (FaBe) or an equivalent qualification, you are entitled to start continuing, further training as a childcare teacher CHE (formerly child educator CHE) directly after your apprenticeship - if you pass the aptitude test.
If you have a non-specialist apprenticeship qualification or a Baccalaureate, Specialized Baccalaureate, federally recognized secondary school certificate or another equivalent qualification, it is not possible to study for a CHE degree directly afterwards. In such a case, in addition to the aptitude assessment, a pre-study internship of at least 400 hours in the field of childhood education must first be completed. At least 800 hours for persons with a purely school-based education.
