The further training for the federal certificate as a management specialist, of which the "Leadership" module is a part, has been in existence for over 15 years. Every year, around 250 people take the federal examination and it is correspondingly well known. Job advertisements rarely ask for exactly this qualification; more often, companies leave it up to managers to decide how they want to expand their skills. The special value of this training is that it leads to a federally recognized certificate, which is a secure value in the Swiss education system. The certificate in leadership and the specialist certificate are therefore good preparation for jobs with management responsibilities.
