Finance and Accounting Specialist with Federal Diploma of Higher Education: Your career leap in business and financial accounting

Questions and answers

The results of a survey conducted by Ausbildung-Weiterbildung.ch answer this question as follows: 68 % of respondents would like to see whether this course meets their needs. 19 %, on the other hand, say that the title of specialist in finance and accounting with a federal certificate is often requested in job advertisements. The course was actively recommended to 13% of survey participants. The additional comments from respondents revealed three further reasons for their interest in the finance and accounting specialist course:

  • Learning content - "It contains exactly the areas that I want to do during my working hours." and "Because I like working with numbers."
  • Confirmation of qualification - "My profession is accountant and I have been working as a chief accountant for many years. I would like to have my profession confirmed and improve my knowledge.", "I have already obtained a certificate in the same field in Spain.", "I have completed the Bilanzbuchhalter in Germany and would now like to work in Switzerland. My children are big enough (16, 14 and 13 years old)." and "Adaptation with diploma to my professional experience"
  • Expanding knowledge - "deepening existing specialist knowledge", "gaining more experience" and "I would like to expand my specialist knowledge and skills" and "I have already worked in accounting for 3 years. Now my husband is self-employed and I do his bookkeeping. I would therefore like to acquire more knowledge."

Graduates of the specialist certificate in finance and accounting acquire comprehensive knowledge in the subjects of finance and accounting, taxes, law, wages and social insurance. They acquire the necessary specialist and practical skills to carry out qualified processing or a managerial function in the commercial sector or in the field of accounting or fiduciary services.

Holders of the federal certificate have sufficient professional experience as a finance and accounting specialist for qualified work in the field of accounting and controlling. Following the federal professional examination in finance and accounting, successful graduates are eligible to take the higher professional examination "Swiss Certified Expert in Accounting and Controlling".

A survey of training graduates provides a guideline for the time and effort required for the specialist certificate in accounting self-study. According to this survey, graduates of further education courses have made the following efforts:

  • 1 percent less than 1 h per week
  • 8 percent 1 to 2 h per week
  • 20 percent 3 to 4 h per week
  • 18 percent 5 to 6 h per week
  • 19 percent 7 to 8 h per week
  • 11 percent 9 to 10 h per week
  • 8 percent 11 to 15 h per week
  • 15 percent more than 15 hours per week
