A little extra: Additional certificates

• Vocational trainer

  The vocational trainer course is integrated into the timetable of Semester 6 Unternehmensführung and enables students to train learners in a targeted manner after completing SHL. The certificate is recognised in all cantons.

• Certified Revenue Manager ECRME

  In four modules, students are introduced to the different areas of revenue management. The first module - «Basic Concepts in Revenue Management» - is integrated in Semester 3 Hotellerie.

  In this module, students are familiarised with the basics on which modern revenue management is built. In addition to the basic theoretical concepts - such as Kime's «Strategic Levers of Revenue Management» - practical applications and the most important key figures are also taught.

  The last three modules for the «Certified Revenue Manager ECRME» certification are integrated in semester 5 Betriebswirtschaft:

  • Module 2 «Strategic Revenue Management» focuses on medium and long-term objectives. Core elements of the module are the competitor set («CompSet»), the positioning strategy as well as benchmarking and performance control.
  • Module 3 «Operational Revenue Management» deals with the «Revenue Management Process». By dividing it into daily, weekly and monthly tasks, the application is structured and forms the basis for operational work in revenue management. Based on an example, a «Revenue Meeting» is organised, which can be directly transferred to one's own business.
  • After revenue management has been established as a discipline in the rooms division area and has already been successfully applied in numerous businesses and chains, Module 4 «Total Revenue Management» is dedicated to the application of the known strategies to other service areas of the hotel. F&B, events and conferences as well as the spa area are explicitly analysed and possible measures and key figures are developed.

  After passing all modules, students obtain the certificate «Certified Revenue Manager ECRME».

• Diploma Supplement in English

  Our HF graduates receive a diploma supplement after successful completion. Diploma supplements are issued for PET qualifications. They contain information that enables employers in Switzerland and abroad to assess the professional competences of graduates. Diploma supplements also indicate the level of the qualification in the National Qualifications Framework (NQF) and the European Qualifications Framework (EQF) and describe what a person with the corresponding qualification is qualified to do.

  The HF diploma has been classified at level 6 in the National Qualifications Framework (NQF) for VET and is thus equivalent to a Bachelor's qualification via the European Qualification Frame (EQF) (equivalent but not equal).

  Diploma supplements are based on the European Europass and are therefore familiar and understandable for employers throughout Europe.
