The "Basic knowledge of physics" course is a distance learning course that concludes with a certificate or diploma.

The "Basic knowledge of physics" course is ideal for all those who want to acquire or refresh their basic knowledge in this area. Parents and grandparents of schoolchildren are an example of the target group for this continuing education, further training course, as is anyone interested in learning more about this subject and gaining knowledge that is suitable for everyday use.

As this course is a distance learning course on basic knowledge of physics, the costs for this continuing education, further training are quite low. You pay CHF 760 for digital course materials and CHF 940 for digital and additional printed course materials, both variants including distance learning support (as at the end of 2016).

The basic knowledge of physics course introduces you to this subject area step by step and teaches you the basic elements of physics such as basic laws, areas, volumes, formulas, units, forming and physical units. The mechanics of solids is also covered in the course, as are thermodynamics, sound insulation, the mechanics of gases and liquids, electricity, weather physics, renewable energies, magnetism, optics, nuclear physics, atomic physics and astronomy. For a detailed list of the individual contents, please contact the relevant school directly using our contact form and request documents for this basic physics course without obligation.

The distance learning course in basic physics can be completed at your own pace and usually takes four months, but can be extended to 40 months. With a regular study period of four months, the learning time is around five hours per week.
