Ja, innerhalb einer Testperiode kann die Multicheck-Eignungsanalyse zweimal pro Berufsfeld durchgeführt werden. Es gibt keine Mindestwartezeit zwischen den Tests, allerdings wird das Ergebnis des ersten Tests auf dem Zertifikat des zweiten Tests vermerkt, wenn sie im selben Jahr stattfinden.

Die Multicheck-Eignungsanalyse bewertet, ob die Bewerber die akademischen und intellektuellen Anforderungen für das gewünschte Berufsprofil erfüllen. Eine Punktzahl unter dem Eignungswert von 40 kann den Ausbildungserfolg erschweren, aber die endgültige Entscheidung über die Zulassung liegt beim Ausbildungsbetrieb.

It's a shame that you didn't pass the ZAP1, even though you put in a lot of time. But it's not the end of the world, because Switzerland offers so many opportunities to obtain a maturity diploma. You'll find another way. To show you just how diverse Swiss educational pathways are, here is an overview.

Overview of the Swiss education system

Alternative: secondary school and short-term Gymnasium

Are you trying to transfer from the sixth grade of a primary school to a long-term secondary school, but it hasn't worked out? Then the most sensible alternative is to enter secondary school. After two years at secondary level, you have the option of taking a ZAP2 exam to enter the short-term Gymnasium.

Vocational baccalaureate and university of applied sciences

Failing this exam again does not mean the end of the road to obtaining a maturity diploma. Students have the option of completing the third stage of secondary education and then either starting basic vocational training (apprenticeship) with BMS (Berufsmittelschule) or looking for a place at FMS (Fachmittelschule). Both the FMS and the BMS require an entrance exam. The BMS can also be added on after completing vocational training and can be completed in one year. Both qualifications, the BMS and the FMS, enable your child to enroll at a university of applied sciences or, depending on the FMS qualification, at a university of teacher education (PH).

Teacher training college and university

However, anyone wishing to study at a university (UH) or university of teacher education (PH) with an FMS or BMS degree must complete a passerelle. This course takes place over two semesters on a full-time basis and, upon successful completion, qualifies students to study at a UH or PH. You can obtain a Bachelor's and Master's degree at the UAS, UH and PH.

Options without Matura

An apprenticeship also provides a good education. Those who do not complete a BMS or FMS but would still like to continue their education can do so while working at an HF (Höhere Fachschule). These colleges offer courses for suitable professions.
