Revocation of VET accreditation

The cantonal authority may revoke VET accreditation if the success of the VET program is compromised, if the quality of apprenticeship training is insufficient, if the VET trainers do not (or no longer) comply with legal requirements, or if they are in breach of their obligations. In such cases, the cantonal authority will help learners to find alternative solutions.
