Would you like to get an SVEB overview of adult education training?

The SVEB - the Swiss Association for Continuing Education - has developed a three-stage system for the training of trainers (AdA).

The following SVEB certificates are offered for entry-level adult education (AdA level 1):

• Instructor - conducting learning events (formerly course instructor): for group lessons, foundation for entry into adult education, 1 SVEB module (also available in English)
• Trainer - individual support (formerly practical trainer): individual support for individual learners, students and employees, 1 SVEB module
• SVEB continuing education certificates digital, such as digitally supporting learning processes

There are also various courses and certificates at AdA levels 2 (instructor with federal certificate) and 3 (federally certified adult educator, federally certified training manager).

The SVEB continuing education certificate digital "Supporting learning processes digitally" is aimed at people who want to enter the digital universe of the education sector. These can be trainers, vocational trainers, practical trainers, coaches or mentors. The prerequisite for attending the course is an SVEB instructor certificate (formerly: course instructor or practical instructor). In the SVEB further training course, participants learn how adult education works online.

A survey of prospective students revealed the following popularity scale for the currently desired form of teaching:

• 32 percent face-to-face teaching (previous year: 5 percent)
• 26 percent hybrid teaching (face-to-face combined with online - plus 3 percent)
• 25 percent online teaching (plus one percent)
• 17 percent are unsure (up one percent)

After attending the SVEB courses with the SVEB digital further training certificate, this is interesting information for lesson planning.

The following skills are taught in the SVEB adult education course "Supporting learning processes digitally" for the SVEB continuing education certificate digital:

• Media-supported didactics
• Methods and use of media
• Roles as trainers, course instructors or practical trainers in digitally supported learning processes

Blended learning methods (face-to-face teaching supplemented by a learning management system and virtual classroom) are used in this online further education course with Swiss certificate "SVEB digital further education certificate". The aim is for graduates to be able to didactically plan, implement and reflect on digitally supported learning processes with adults in their own specialist area.

Anyone who reads the book "Lernprozesse digital unterstützen - ein Methodenbuch für den Unterricht" (Supporting learning processes digitally - a method book for teaching) will gain specific knowledge about didactic concepts for the use of digital media in adult education. But reading and learning are not automatically the same thing. Monika Heusinger's book "Lernprozesse digital unterstützen" can be read with benefit, but does not provide any proof of what has been learned.

Those who attend the "Supporting learning processes digitally" module as further training in adult education, e.g. in accordance with the SVEB certificate for trainers, learn how to plan, implement and reflect on online didactics. The knowledge acquired is tested and successful graduates are awarded an SVEB certificate. The SVEB continuing education certificate digital is therefore definitely useful for all those who want/need to document their learning achievements in the field of adult education.

The SVEB online module teaches how to document, reflect on and assess digitally supported learning processes. Digital media are also changing the way we work, learn and communicate. Therefore, the digital transformation in adult education must also be taken into account. This is taken into account with the SVEB continuing education certificate digital. However, in order to promote learning with digital media in a meaningful way, specific didactic concepts are required, which are taught in the SVEB online module. People with the SVEB continuing education certificate digital have mastered these concepts.

According to a survey of prospective students asking about the most common type of learner, the following exciting result emerged:

• 1/3 Visual learner (learns by seeing)
• 1/3 Motor learning type (learns by doing)
• 1/4 Communicative learner (learns through conversations or discussions)
• Rest auditory learning type (learns through active listening)

All these types of learners can also be supported digitally. The SVEB continuing education certificate digital helps with this. Discuss this with the lecturers in the SVEB course "Supporting learning processes digitally". Then, with the SVEB continuing education certificate digital, you will also know how to provide targeted support for the individual learning types.

Anyone working in learning support or adult education should have attended an SVEB adult education course. An SVEB course teaches the basics of learning support or the implementation of learning events with adults. You learn to adhere to conceptual guidelines. Practical trainers, instructors or course leaders learn how to prepare curricula and teaching materials, conduct and evaluate lessons. The skills learned are confirmed by an SVEB certificate. Those who wish to continue their training afterwards can, for example, obtain a digital SVEB further training certificate. With the SVEB digital continuing education certificate, you can confidently use the tools of the digital world in adult education.
