(Art. 17 para. 2 and 18 para. 2 VPETA)
- Compared to three-year and four-year VET programmes, two-year VET programmes provide learners with specific vocational qualifications that are easier to acquire. They take account of the individual capabilities of learners by offering them a particularly broad range of courses and a personalised teaching approach.
- VET ordinances for two-year VET programmes include provisions enabling learners to subsequently enrol in the three-year or four-year VET programme.
- Two-year VET programmes may be extended or shortened by no more than one year.
- If a learner runs the risk of not completing a VET programme, the cantonal authorities shall, after listening to the learner and the VET school, decide whether competent individual tutoring should be provided to the learner in question.
- Competent individual tutoring not only includes classroom instruction but all relevant areas of training that the learner requires.
