Swiss Marketing: 517 marketing planners graduated in 2006

On June 24, 2006, 517 marketing planners from the 2006 cohort were awarded the federal certificate. 827 candidates registered for the examination, which is organized by Swiss Marketing. Only 785 candidates completed the examination and 517 (65.86 percent) passed. The distribution of the pass rate between women and men shows an even split of 48.9 percent women compared to 51.1 percent men, according to an averaging report. In terms of language regions, however, the picture is more varied: While 88.6 percent of women and 89.5 percent of men come from German-speaking Switzerland, French-speaking Switzerland is represented by 8.2 percent successful women and 6.0 successful men, while only 3.2 percent of women and 4.5 percent of men come from Ticino.
