Business specialist - the top alternative to studying business at a university of applied sciences

Have you successfully completed your baccalaureate and don't want to spend many more years at school? Would you like to enter professional life as quickly as possible and still pave the way for a career in business - e.g. in banking and insurance? Many high school graduates make the mistake of choosing the direct route into working life after graduating from high school instead of studying. As a result, they remain without a job-specific qualification (e.g. a bachelor's degree or basic training) for a long time, thus delaying their career opportunities for several years.

The PWA (post-baccalaureate business education) is therefore aimed specifically at interested parties who have a good baccalaureate degree in their pocket but have no desire to complete a long course of study at a university of applied sciences or university. The course is structured as follows:

  1. Interested parties apply to a vacancy in a bank, insurance company or a company that offers training places for the PWA. The internship contract is concluded directly with the training managers.
  2. Training as a business specialist starts with a 6-month, full-time theoretical and classroom component in which participants are trained in business administration, economics, law, accounting, English, French and IT. The course material builds on the knowledge gained in the Matura and equips graduates with sound know-how for everyday business life. Some subjects are completed with external examinations.
  3. The 18-month practical part is completed in the company. After just a short time, the trainees are entrusted with challenging tasks. Figures show that most PWA graduates receive a permanent position in the company after completing their training as a business specialist and work their way up the career ladder.

Are you motivated and would you like to finally enter the world of work and start a career in business after completing your high school diploma?

The Higher Business Diploma (HWD) is a one-year, part-time generalist course in business administration. It is aimed at people with a commercial, industrial or technical background and imparts sound business management knowledge. It also serves as a solid foundation for re-entering the profession as a business specialist.

The "Certified Business Specialist" course focuses on generalist business management skills for management positions with a high degree of practical relevance. In addition to working independently, good language and presentation skills - including a confident manner in presentations - are important. The aim is to make it easier to cope with everyday working life thanks to a broad range of skills and opportunities for promotion to management positions.

Business training is particularly suitable for prospective managers and is also recommended for the self-employed. It is aimed at people with a commercial background. As a business specialist, you will be able to take on demanding business management tasks after completing the course.

As a direct and tangible leader, team leadership and employee development are no problem.
