Switzerland offers a wide range of seminars, training courses and courses in the field of leadership and management, so it is not always easy to find the right continuing education, further training for your own goals and requirements. All continuing education, further training courses differ in terms of structure and content, and many also differ in terms of target group, degree and duration, requirements and methods. For example, some courses are designed for people with a university degree (CAS, DAS, MAS), while others award a federally recognized qualification after appropriate examinations (FPE, AFPE, CHE). Some continuing education, further training courses last one or two days, others extend over a period of several years. There are currently well over 400 providers listed in this area, all of whom have different ideas and often offer fundamentally different courses. So take a little time when looking for your new continuing education, further training course to find the leadership course that is just right for you.

There are an incredibly large number of further education courses in Switzerland for management training with an internal certificate. And these do not necessarily have to be worse than a federal qualification. The question is rather whether you need a Federal Diploma of Higher Education or a Federal Diploma for your professional career. If it is enough for you to take a management course in which you learn exactly what you need for your current or aspired future position, a certificate course can sometimes be even more beneficial than a Federal Professional Examination (AFPE) or Advanced Federal Professional Examination (AFPE), as it can deal with a much more specific range of topics.

Would you like to gain better access to your employees and avoid frequent misunderstandings in the future? Then opt for a certificate course on the subject of communication. Will you soon be promoted to team leader and don't know how to deal with your former colleagues in the future? Then choose a course on "From employee to boss" or another team management course. You should therefore always choose a management course according to your own needs so that it can bring you the greatest possible benefit.

There are several federally recognized training courses in the field of leadership and also some certificate courses recognized by the Swiss Association for Leadership Education (SVE) in the areas of leadership and management, which also serve as the basis for Federal Professional Examination. However, both certificates can also be completed separately. Following these certificates, the following federally recognized leadership training courses are also available:

• Management Specialist with Federal Diploma of Higher Education (Federal Professional Examination)
• Management expert with federal diploma (Advanced Federal Professional Examination (AFPE))
