From January 2018, graduates of our courses who are preparing for federal examinations will receive financial support. The federal government will cover 50% of the eligible course costs. You can submit a corresponding application to the federal government after completing the final examination. The Federal Council approved the new subject-oriented funding on September 15, 2017. In order to benefit from this support, the following requirements must be met:

Persons from other countries do not benefit from the federal contribution.

Financing through the L-GAV

Participants who, at the time of registration, are employed in a company that is subject to the National Collective Labor Agreement of the Swiss Hospitality Industry (L-GAV) can benefit from further financial support via the L-GAV.

This financial contribution is paid directly by Hotel & Gastro formation Switzerland during the course.
The course and examination days attended count as days worked. The employer will be paid a corresponding compensation for loss of working hours.

L-GAV financing is regulated by a training agreement or a subsidy application between Hotel & Gastro formation Switzerland, the participant and the employer.

If you are unable to meet the requirements (point 4) for federal funding, the L-GAV will also pay the federal contribution. This is subject to compliance with the other conditions.
