First graduates of the Swiss course for advertising copywriting
On August 28, the first five graduates of the «Textpraktiker/in EB Zürich» diploma program received their diplomas certifying their expertise in advertising copywriting.
Manuela Mani, Aysun Önaktug, Felix Schaad, Eveline Stamm and Jeanine Tinner received their diploma from EB Zurich Division Manager Nikolaus Stählin on August 28. For this, they had to write a thesis based on a real business case and present it in a pitch-like situation to the case giver.
The diploma, issued by course director Maurice Codourey and his team, is intended to serve as a precursor to the new federal certificate of proficiency in "Text and Concept". An application to this effect was submitted to the Federal Office for Professional Education and Technology in spring 2008. The federal examination is to be held for the first time in 2010. Holders of the diploma "Textpraktiker/in EB Zürich" should be able to take part directly in the federal examination with additional examination preparation.
