Our Business Studies diplomas are obtained in one year, over 36 weeks of courses, at a rate of 35 periods per week.

The course covers
- Economic, social, legal and accounting knowledge of the business world,
- Technical and professional know-how
- Practical business English
Our day-long courses are adapted to the level of each participant, whether beginner or advanced, to meet individual progress needs. The Diplôme d’Études Commerciales is awarded at the end of the two semesters of study with an average of 4 or more, made up of the marks from the continuous assessment and the two semester exams with double coefficients.
Pedagogy
All courses leading to a diploma in commerce and accounting are taught at two different levels: beginner and advanced.
This makes it possible to adapt to individual needs and to meet the requirements of all students in most subjects. What’s more, this system offers the opportunity to make rapid progress.
During the first three months of the business-accountancy course, you will be marked to identify your strengths and areas for rapid improvement. The grading system is only introduced after 3 months of training and this first termly examination.
The interdisciplinary nature of the course means that you will be able to put your newly acquired skills into practice very quickly, with a view to achieving the objectives set for the business accounting diploma.
In addition to theoretical courses at school, participants in our training programmes benefit from the practical experience of what they have learned in our Entreprise de Pratique Commerciale (EPCO).
In this safe environment, and as part of a large-scale network of around fifty EPCOs in Switzerland and more than 7,500 worldwide, the commercial activities of six departments (Reception, HR, Purchasing, Sales, Marketing, Accounting) are reproduced so that students can learn by doing the many different aspects of the commercial professions.
