Relocating for work or settling down through education has been the most robust trend over the past few decades; however, the biggest barrier is the cost and time, and diploma programs solve these issues. Since 2010, with government support, professional training systems (diploma programs) have been considered the best foundation for preparing workers in the context of global labor mobility and relocation due to their characteristics:

• Easily recognize competencies when all diplomas are converted to levels to seamlessly map with the competency framework.
• The diploma is globally recognized and equivalent to a university degree but is more practical for the workplace.
• Especially cost-effective when compare with degree programs.
• Earning a diploma is faster than a degree because diplomas focus on practical skills with less theory and fewer irrelevant courses.
• Study abroad super cost-effectively by only completing the final stage.
• Highly practical as all Diploma programs are work-oriented rather than overly theoretical.

All Swiss Diploma programs are dual degree programs, combining a Diploma awarded by an Ofqual UK.Gov awarding body and a Swiss Private Diploma from SIMI Swiss.

With the combination of a government-recognized diploma system and a diploma system widely recognized by the labor market, the Swiss Diploma program is the most comprehensive option for candidates who want to relocate, advance their careers, or simply study a world-class, globally recognized, and cost-effective program.

The Swiss Diploma is not only recognized in the workplace by both government and businesses, but it is also acknowledged by university education systems. Therefore, the Swiss Diploma can seamlessly transfer into the final stages of most public and private university programs through the cross-recognition system and the national competency framework, known as the APEL system.

Through the recognition of prior learning and seamless transfer into the final stage, candidates who wish to study abroad full-time no longer need to complete the entire program at a university. Instead, they can study abroad and finish the program in the final stage (top-up phase). During their time at the university, depending on the country and the specific requirements of the institution, candidates may be able to find work both during and after their studies.
