I am Daniel Meier. I originally completed an apprenticeship as an electrician. After completing my military service, I started working in the family business - initially as a driver, as one of the drivers had broken his leg. That's how I got to know a large part of our customer base. At the same time, I completed my commercial diploma. In Stuttgart, I continued my training to become a master miller. I then completed the technical course in milling in St. Gallen. Today I work as operations manager again in the family business - Knecht Mühle in Leibstadt.
At the WISS School I am currently completing a course to become aGraduate in Business Administration HF.
I chose to train as a business economist HF to further my personal development. In addition to these personal reasons, I would also like to continue filling my bag of experience.
I chose the WISS School because I particularly liked the teaching times for the HF Business Administration course. I wasn't looking for an evening school or a Saturday school. Tuesday afternoons and evenings are best suited to my other work schedule.
The Business Administration HF course has already made my everyday working life easier. Wherever you learn something, you can also take something with you that will help you in your professional life. The course has given me a lot of decision-making aids.
What I particularly like about the HF Business Administration course is that all the lecturers work full-time in a company and therefore have a high level of practical relevance. I was also impressed by the way the transition to distance learning was organized during the coronavirus pandemic. It went smoothly without a single day of lessons being canceled. School continued at home without interruption.
A big challenge for me in business management training is balancing family, business and school. For example, it's not always easy when I have a tough time in business and then have to concentrate on school. However, if you have a clear goal in mind, such as a degree in Business Administration HF, you can manage it.
With the degree in Business Administration HF, I can definitely increase my market value. In my view, this happens with every further training course.
Training as a business economist HF has already helped me personally. I've become calmer and now approach things in a more structured way than before.
I have already recommended the Business Administration HF course to a few colleagues. I would generally recommend this course to anyone who wants to further their education in the field of business administration. It is a good stepping stone for later employment in middle and upper management.
The interaction in the classroom and with the lecturers at WISS is very friendly and personal on the Business Administration HF course. For me, it's like a small family.
I particularly liked the involvement of the students in the lessons of the HF Business Administration course. By that I mean getting them to engage in dialog. I appreciate good interactions between lecturers and students, which also involve personal experiences from the participants' individual companies. This is implemented well at WISS.
The HF Business Administration course has reawakened my thirst for knowledge. It is clear to me that I will continue after this training. I would then like to continue studying business administration at a university of applied sciences.
