Higher professional examination for communication managers: OPET approves new examination regulations

The Federal Office for Vocational Education and Training (BBT) recently approved the new examination regulations for the Advanced Professional Examination for Communications Managers. The examinations are administered by the Swiss Advertising Examination Commission.

The OPET has put the examination regulations into force retroactively to September 1, 2009, writes the SW in a press release. This is gratifying "because the examination regulations could not be finally approved due to the protracted debate about the name of the title for French-speaking Switzerland, which is why the diplomas could not be issued and the diploma ceremony for the 39 successful graduates had to be postponed." The OPET has now decided: The protected title "Head of Communication" will in future be called "Responsable de la communication diplômée", or "Responsable de la communication diplômé" in French-speaking Switzerland.
The graduation ceremony will now take place on February 25 at Haus Appenzell in Zurich. The graduates will receive their diplomas in a festive setting. They will be presented by the President of the Examination Board Urs Schneider in the presence of SW President and former member of the Council of States Carlo Schmid-Sutter.
