The Higher Business Diploma HWD/VSK builds on a basic commercial education (KV EFZ, office apprenticeship, commercial school, etc.). Individuals who are either already working in the commercial field or would like to switch to this field receive an emphatically practice-oriented further education in business administration. The Management Certificate SVF is considered as a partial admission for the course Management Specialist with Federal Diploma. This partial admission can be acquired at the same time as the recognition of equivalence for the Higher Business Diploma HWD/VSK.
This course corresponds to the 1st year of the Bachelor's degree and is fully credited to it (60 ECTS points).
With the additionally acquired management knowledge, successful graduates have optimal prerequisites for occupying positions in lower to middle management.
The following opportunities open up for you with the HWD/VSK degree:
- You are planning to take on specialist or management responsibility at a later date.
- You are looking for interesting development opportunities in management.
- You would like to become self-employed.
- You are planning further training in the direction of higher professional qualifications such as business economist or business economist VSK.
- You are aiming for a federal certificate as a management specialist.
- You are aiming for a federal certificate as a marketing specialist, sales specialist or technical business specialist.
The modular training to become a certified business administrator (HWD/VSK) forms a solid basis for a later federal qualification. Thanks to a good commercial and business foundation, the way is paved for a wide variety of federal certificates.
The diploma examination "Höheres Wirtschaftsdiplom VSK" is strongly oriented towards practice. Therefore, it is not primarily academic knowledge that is tested, but rather the implementation of theory in practice. Successful candidates are registered with the Association of Swiss Management Schools in the VSK Central Register.
