Adult education according to Art. BBV: I would like to prepare for the exam on my own. Where can I find the relevant information?
We occasionally receive inquiries in our educational advisory service from people who would like to prepare independently for the final apprenticeship examination, for example to become a commercial clerk.
The following questions are asked in each case:
- Can I take the final apprenticeship examination for the Federal Diploma of Vocational Education and Training (VET Diploma) without a preparatory course?
- Where can I get support and where can I find the information?
Can I take the final apprenticeship examination for the Federal Diploma of Vocational Education and Training (VET Diploma) without a preparatory course?
Yes, adults with at least 5 years of professional experience - usually 2-3 years in the desired profession (in this example, in the commercial sector) - have the opportunity to take the federal final apprenticeship examination in accordance with Art. 32 OPET (Vocational Training Ordinance). The examination tests practical skills as well as vocational and general learning material. The type of exam preparation is not regulated; it can be done completely independently.
