Social insurance specialist with a federal certificate: What are the disadvantages of this further training?

The social insurance specialist with a federal certificate advises customers in various areas of social insurance. This may involve questions about old-age, survivors' and disability insurance, unemployment insurance or occupational pensions. Not only insured persons, but also employers, authorities and various institutions turn to social insurance specialists with questions or problems.

The most important disadvantages of further training to become a social insurance specialist with a federal certificate are

1. The part-time social insurance course is time-consuming and leaves little time for leisure activities - this is especially true for the two-semester variant.
2. Those who specialize in the Swiss social security system have unique knowledge that can only be applied by Swiss employers - this does not encourage them to work abroad.
3. Depending on the area of activity, the work of a social insurance specialist is associated with many emotional challenges, as the cases to be processed are often connected with strokes of fate for those affected.
4. During their training, graduates must be familiar with many laws and regulations in the field of social insurance - those who are good at memorizing are certainly at an advantage.
5. There is a lot of pressure to pass the annual federal final examinations.

Reliable and responsible people without a vocational baccalaureate with three to five years of professional experience in the social insurance sector can take an important career step in the private sector in human resources, as well as in the public sector or with insurance companies and advisory services by completing further training to become a social insurance specialist with a federal certificate.
