SVEB - Frequently answered questions
- Is the SVEB course offered by Flying Teachers as equally recognised as those from other providers?
Yes. The Flying Teachers course was accredited in 2006 by the Swiss Association for Further Education
- Is the Flying Teachers course the same as those offered elsewhere?
Yes. Flying Teachers actually offers more than other providers. Flying Teachers also offers monitored lessons. German teachers can thus get started teaching and put what is learned in the course directly into practice. That means practical training from the very first minute!
- What additional costs are applicable?
There are no additional costs for the SVEB course. The registration fee, study materials, and SVEB certificate are all included in the course price.
The EUROLTA certificate is optional and costs an additional CHF 400.

- Up to 50 hours of teaching with one or two persons and/or online teaching (accompanied learning and guided tasks).
- Can I have teaching lessons recognised which are more than 20 years old?
Yes, as long as you can provide documentary proof, such as confirmation of all relevant details (see example Praxisnachweis).
- Can I get my private teaching recognised?
Yes, provided that the document confirming your self-employed status includes all the required information (see example Employment as Independent Course Leader).
- On the website, it is written that the federal government subsidises the course. Does this mean that costs will be reimbursed upon obtaining the SVEB-1 certificate?
