How does the Swiss program compare with the British NVQ qualification? The NVQ qualification pathway does not necessarily require training. Typically, the preparation for an NVQ assessment at level 2 or 3 takes about 30-36 hours of learning and review. The Swiss competency requirements are such that any diploma is only available to those who have completed 160 lessons of training and 12 weeks working on the job. The outcome is that the Swiss certification level requires more practice and understanding of the area of work than the NVQ to qualify for a diploma, which is why Swiss hospitality qualifications are world famous and people with such a qualification are job ready.

Design

The program is modular, so you can take one module and then work immediately. And return for further modules until you have completed the entire diploma program. Modules 1-5 can be taken in any sequence, so you can choose which module you want to take first. Module 6 should be taken at the end. Each module leads to a full Swiss certificate, which is awarded once you have gained a minimum of 3 months’ practice working on the job.

Module 1: English & Customer Service
Module 2: Food & Beverages
Module 3: Front Office / Reception
Module 4: Housekeeping
Module 5: Kitchen & Cooking
Module 6: Butler / Concierge Services
