Courses and Coaching

Course

BNF offers more than 20 job application courses in German, French, and English, as well as courses that improve other professional competencies.

BNF courses are designed for academics, take their backgrounds into consideration, and acquaint participants with the characteristics of the Swiss labour market.

Job application courses are very focussed and last from one to three days.

Complementary courses offer participants an opportunity to improve their competencies in specific areas or prepare for a qualification in project management.

BNF courses can be useful  

  • to adapt job application documents to a non-academic labour market  

  • to activate and extend a professional network  

  • to prepare for job interviews  

  • to acquire specific professional competencies
