Abstract

The Federal VET Diploma is a historical qualification in Switzerland. Created in the 1930's, it has become a reference diploma at upper-secondary level. At the same time, the dual-track has become the predominant form of vocational education and training in Switzerland. Nevertheless, while the Federal VET Diploma has retained its very solid reputation, the reforms undertaken in the 1990's put an end to its predominant status within the Swiss system of diplomas. It has moved from a virtually monopolistic situation to a minority one, due to the creation of new diplomas and the constant elevation of educational levels, in particular at tertiary education. © Tous droits réservés.
