Rising satisfaction levels

In 2021, 980 students graduated from SFUVET, completing their training for work as teachers in vocational schools or professional education institutions, as workplace trainers, branch course instructors or examiners. In the German-speaking region of Switzerland, all completed study programmes – with the exception of the certification course for teachers of 'language, communication and society' in VET programmes – were based on the new and nationally harmonised training concept. In the French- and Italian-speaking regions, this only applied to certificate courses. The first study programmes based on the new training concept will reach completion in 2022.

Positive feedback

One thing is clear: the new training concept has proven to be effective. In a survey conducted among graduates of the 2021 study programme, 88 % of participants in the German-speaking region of Switzerland rated the quality of their training as 'good'. This is significantly more than in previous years (79 %). In the French- and Italian-speaking regions of Switzerland, where the completed study programmes were still based on the previous training concept, satisfaction levels are lower. Participants were extremely positive about the structure of the study programmes and the quality of communication with programme directors. They were less enthusiastic about the suitability of the workload, particularly in the French- and Italian-speaking regions.

New study programme

In 2021, SFUVET launched a new certificate course that provides specific certification to teach physical education at vocational schools. The course was designed in collaboration with the Swiss Federal Institute of Sport in Magglingen. For the first course, 15 participants enrolled.
