What are the disadvantages of training as a real estate trustee?

Real estate trustees with a Federal Diploma of Higher Education are all-rounders in the real estate sector - they manage, broker, value, buy and sell properties. They also take on demanding management tasks in the areas of business management, law and construction.

The most important disadvantages of the real estate trustee training are:

1. As real estate trustee training usually takes place over two to three semesters alongside work, it is very time-consuming and limits your free time.
2. If you want to work in real estate management, you need not only specialist knowledge but also analytical skills, leadership and social skills as well as customer and service orientation. All of these skills cannot be acquired through training alone.
3. The Federal PET Diploma is not recognized abroad. Anyone wishing to work abroad must therefore request official proof of this professional qualification from the State Secretariat for Education, Research, and Innovation SERI in order to prove their eligibility.
4. The exam pressure at the annual federal final exams is high, but during the real estate trustee training you are specifically prepared for this. This can be difficult if you have exam nerves. However, there are mock exams and learning checks beforehand.

Graduates work as department, branch or business managers in companies in the real estate fiduciary sector. They work in real estate management companies or in real estate management companies of municipalities and cantons, at banks and insurance companies or at homeowner associations. It is also possible to work in the expert and valuation sector as well as in consulting, specialist training and auditing. They can also run their own business as self-employed persons.
