There is no general answer as to how long a training course in the Swiss school system lasts. This is because the duration of training courses is determined autonomously by the schools.

As a rule, courses leading to a "school certificate" take a few days (approx. 2 - 15 days). For other courses with a federally recognized qualification, a longer training period must be expected.

The learning content of courses on the Swiss school system leading to a school certificate is not federally regulated. This means that the learning content is determined and compiled by the schools themselves. It is therefore possible that the learning content, for example its scope and weighting, may differ from school to school.

As a rule, the Swiss education system and the individual levels within it are examined in detail in a course on the Swiss school system. How is the Swiss education system structured? What are the success factors? Etc.

Please contact the provider of your choice and find out what the course material looks like or how it is structured.

Tip: Compare several schools at the same time so that you can best assess which school covers exactly the learning content that interests you the most.

Whether you are admitted to the Swiss school system depends entirely on the admission requirements and whether you meet them. These are determined independently by the schools. They may therefore differ from school to school or from course to course.

It is best to contact the school of your choice directly.

Training in the Swiss school system is aimed at the following target group:

• Schools that would like to have their employees professionally trained.
• Employees of schools who wish to deepen their knowledge and skills in the Swiss education sector and obtain a corresponding certificate.
• Private individuals who are interested in the subject and/or would like to gain a professional foothold in the education sector in the future.

Whether and to what extent training on the Swiss school system is offered in online teaching format depends on the school.

In recent years, many schools have expanded the teaching formats they offer. In addition to traditional face-to-face teaching, hybrid and online teaching as well as blended learning are now frequently available.
