The range of further education opportunities in Switzerland in the field of management is considerable, so it is not always easy to find the right management training course straight away. Therefore, take a little time in your planning and analyze your situation and your needs first. Keep the following points in mind:

• Where am I right now, both professionally and privately?
• What knowledge do I have and where do I have deficits?
• What skills do I have and where do I have deficits?
• Which key qualifications do I have and which do I not yet have?
• What priorities do I give to the individual deficits?
• What goals do I want to achieve?
• What resources are available to me?
• In which direction do I want to develop?
• What skills would I like to improve?
• How do I want to achieve this?
• What can I do about this?

Once you have answered these questions for yourself, you will probably quickly see where the greatest need for action lies and which goal you would like to and should tackle first. Your personal and professional situation will help determine what type of continuing education, further training is suitable and necessary for you to achieve the goals you have set yourself. Armed with this information, you can now set about finding appropriate seminars and courses or have some providers suggest suitable training measures.

Certificate courses in leadership and management are training or further education courses at schools and Universities. On the one hand, a distinction is made between courses that are aimed at people without previous in-depth experience in this field and courses that serve as a specialization and have been developed for interested parties with specialist expertise. In addition to the target group, the prerequisites are also different, but generally do not require such strict compliance as is the case with federal continuing education, further training (FPE, AFPE,...). If you are interested in a certificate course but do not meet all of the prescribed requirements, it is always worth asking for more details and requesting an aptitude interview. Certificate courses can have very different orientations, depending on the provider, as they are not uniformly regulated. You should therefore always request the relevant documents from all schools that interest you and for each course that appeals to you, which you can easily receive by email and which will enable you to make a quick comparison. In this way, you can quickly and easily find the right training or further education course in leadership and management.
