Details

The Center for Higher Vocational Education (ZbW) St. Gallen is a training centre anchored in eastern Switzerland for in-service training that leads to state-recognized diploma degrees (Swiss education system). The ZbW was founded as a private sector association and is supported by industry, commerce and the public sector. Due to the increasingly competitive market environment (market saturation, cut-throat competition), the appearance of the ZbW differs significantly from its competitors. The students receive very practical training from experts from the real economy.
