International courses

Our courses are part of the Swiss International VET Academy programme. This programme support all forms of competence or skills development for Technical and Vocational Education on a pedagogical-didactical, methodological or systemic level. We are convinced of the benefits of the dual-track model and encourage, in collaboration with local experts, a culturally adapted insertion of its core elements.

Main concept of the Academy

The Swiss International VET Academy Programme courses are characterised by their emphasis on acquiring skills that are readily actionable in real working situations. To achieve this, it is imperative that the professional pedagogy is effective, rigorous and applicable in the international context. In order to fulfil these requirements, our academy regularly offer courses to experience and understand the Swiss VET model and to allow participants to develop a valid representation of it as well as of the Situated VET – a holistic approach for effective pedagogy and didactics in VET developed by SFUVET.
