About Swissmem Academy

Swissmem Academy is Swissmem’s training and advice centre for qualified specialists and managers in technology-oriented companies. Our offering includes courses, seminars and in-house training.

Our offer for you

Courses
Our courses give qualified specialists and managers a sound continuing education, allowing them to acquire up-to-date knowledge for higher-level tasks. Courses mainly lead to a certificate or in some cases even a legally protected job title.

Seminars
Our efficiently structured seminars provide stimuli and expertise on a very wide range of everyday business topics in the shortest possible time. Seminars are geared towards practical dissemination of learning content which can be successfully applied in everyday working life within just a few days.

In-house training
To develop whole teams, and for specific matters not covered by the standard courses, in-house training is a good option. An individual consultation and learning content tailored to your business are an efficient way to support your teams’ learning success.

Our trainers come from real-world settings and understand the needs of the industry. We teach and advise using modern methods tailored to our target audience. Our top priority is transferring theory into practice; the aim is for our students to be able to put the things they have learned into everyday practice rapidly and easily.

We offer great value for money and an additional discount for Swissmem members.

French-speaking Switzerland and Ticino regions
In French-speaking Switzerland, there has been a cooperation with the educational institutions CIP Tramelan and Cursus Formation Lausanne since 2020. These two institutes grant Swissmem member companies attractive discounts on selected courses (see course offer on this website).

In Ticino, we are a founding member of the Campus Formativo Industriale association, which offers further education for Swissmem members in Ticino.

For companies from all language regions, we also offer customised, in-house training in German, French, Italian and English. Contact us for a non-binding consultation!

Our method

High practical relevance, exchange of experiences with other participants and the greatest possible transfer of what has been learned into one's own practice are our demands on high-quality educational offers. In our opinion, this is only possible through sensible learning concepts that take into account different methods and forms, which are adapted to the reality of the participants. This approach is called blended learning. The term «blended» refers to the purposefully designed interaction of the different learning phases (preparation, implementation, transfer), where different forms, methods and media are used.

To ensure that blended learning can be optimally applied in our courses, we continuously invest in our learning environment «MEMcampus». This is a platform that accompanies participants through the different learning phases and allows them to use all formats (learning videos, learning programmes, online courses, virtual classrooms and also course materials in electronic form).
