Overview of the qualification process
The qualification process assesses the required competencies in accordance with the education ordinance for federally recognised qualifications (VET Certificate/VET Diploma). It comprises various forms of assessment at the end of vocational education and training.
Grading forms
The grading forms calculate the overall grade by averaging the weighted grades from each qualification area.
The grading forms can be found in the Download Centre .
Practical experience grade sheets
All semester assessments are entered in the practical experience grade sheets to determine performance grades based on practical experience. This is made up of the grades assessed by the vocational school, the inter-company courses and, if applicable, the host company.
The templates and practical experience grade sheets from the vocational school, from the host company and from the inter-company courses can be found in the Download Centre .
