The training and continuing education, further training courses provide sound knowledge and skills for working as a school principal and managing an educational organization.

Topics such as the Swiss Education System, leadership theories and leadership models, communication, conflict management, conducting discussions (e.g. in the event of termination of employment), moderation, personnel development and team building, teaching development taking into account the latest research results, accounting, school law, personnel law, data protection, project conception, project implementation, role reflection, etc. are covered.

This kind of management knowledge is transferable and applicable to practically any company or field of work, which is why people with these qualifications are in high demand on the job market.

The admission requirements for training and continuing education, further training to become a school principal are listed by the Swiss Conference of Cantonal Ministers of Education (EDK) in the document "Profile for additional school leadership training" dated October 29, 2009 under Article 4.

The following prerequisites are generally required:

  • Teaching diploma for kindergarten, elementary school, lower-secondary level or upper-secondary level
  • At least five years of teaching experience and
  • School management activity during the additional training. Persons without a management function are also admitted, provided they have a corresponding practical field during the training. This could be, for example, a deputy head teacher, head of a steering group, head of a level or project manager. It is of central importance here that the respective persons can demonstrate competencies in operational management as well as personnel management.

However, it is also possible to become a head teacher without a teaching diploma. In these justified exceptional cases, the following criteria must be met:

  • University degree or equivalent recognized qualification
  • Several years of professional experience related to the Swiss education system, as well as management experience and
  • Employment or designation as head teacher in a public or private educational institution

It is advisable to contact the respective educational institution in advance, as they may have additional individual requirements.

Questions and answers

The duration of head teacher training is determined independently by the schools. You should therefore expect differences. There are training courses that only last a few days, but there are also those that are more extensive and extend over several semesters. You can obtain more detailed information directly from the schools.

Whether you can also complete the head teacher training online depends on the teaching formats offered by the school. It is up to the school to decide which teaching formats it offers. In addition to traditional face-to-face teaching, many schools now also offer other forms of teaching, such as online teaching or hybrid teaching.

The cost of a head teacher training course varies depending on the provider. The costs are set by the schools themselves. You should therefore enquire there.

As a rule, the course costs range from CHF 3,000 to CHF 9,000. Please note that some providers charge additional costs, e.g. for examination fees and/or teaching materials.

Whether your head teacher training is paid for by your employer is very individual and varies from employer to employer. It is best to approach your line manager and explain your training plans to him/her. Ask about support options.

This depends, among other things, on which target group the principal training is aimed at. For example, there are further training courses that are explicitly aimed at principals who already have several years of professional experience in this area.

However, there are of course also "basic" further training courses that are explicitly aimed at prospective managers in school management. As a rule, no prior professional experience in school management is required.

Good to know: The admission requirements are set independently by the schools. There may therefore be differences.
