Betriebswirtschafter / Betriebswirtschafter HF: Experience report from Matthias Zurflüh, responsible for the course at Feusi Bildungszentrum - Taking on specialist and management responsibility in business or administration

Tell us about your background.

My name is Matthias Zurflüh and I have been a lecturer at the Feusi Training Center for 10 years. I trained as a farmer and later completed further training as an agricultural businessman HF, agricultural lawyer CAS, marketing manager HFP and trainer FA. Today I work as Head of Marketing and Sales at an insurance company. At Feusi, I am now responsible for the business management course and take care of the operational planning for this course. It gives me great pleasure and I can see the direct benefits for the course participants very quickly. That is why I have now decided to take on full strategic responsibility for the HF Business Administration course as course director from September 2020. This will enable me to ensure the successful recruitment, training advice and sales of the business administration courses in future.
