FAQ

Question

Answer
I work full time; how can I study? The approach of CVT is particularly appropriate for you:
  • There is a number of short term courses allowing you to upgrade your competence in specific subjects. Please consult the “Short term courses” section of this website.
  • If you intend to learn a complete profession, the apprenticeship is for you. After an initial intensive course with lessons all day during about two months, you will come to school only one day per week and after two years you will be a competent professional. You may even come to school on your day off, if your employer is not allowing you to attend the lessons during office hours.
  • If you are already a professional and if you want to get further qualified in a specialization through a longer term training cycle, we recommend you to register for our “3rd year”, in which we further qualify professionals by a ten months course with one school day per week and in some professions additional “Practical Training Sessions” in our PTC.
Don’t hesitate to contact the hotline of CVT, our staff will help you to choose the right course.
