GOOD TO KNOW
Your questions, answered.
Who are OSAM programmes designed for?+
Our programmes support individuals and organisations in Switzerland and internationally. We assess your starting point, goals and professional context before confirming the most suitable pathway.
Can I study online or in person?+
Yes. Teaching takes place in person or live online with an expert trainer. Both formats include access to the OSAM platform for course materials and information about your programme.
What qualifications and durations are available?+
OSAM certificate programmes generally run over 3, 7 or 12 months, according to your starting level and objectives. Language programmes follow an approximately six-month pathway towards the next CEFR level. Corporate group programmes are usually defined in training days or half-days. In selected fields, OSAM also prepares learners for Swiss federal examinations, with the duration and admission requirements specified on the relevant course page. eduQua certifies the institution; the federal qualification is awarded after the required examination.
What is different about OSAM language courses?+
Each language pathway is designed over approximately six months to work towards one additional CEFR level, for example from A1 to A2. You learn with a native-speaking, qualified and experienced trainer, in person or live online, and use the OSAM platform for course materials. The initial and final assessments establish your starting level and progress; reaching the target depends on your starting point, participation and practice.
How much does a programme cost?+
Please contact us for a personal quotation. Fees depend on your starting level, objectives, chosen qualification pathway and delivery format. We clarify the programme and all applicable fees before enrolment.
Why choose OSAM for continuing education?+
OSAM combines expert practitioners selected against demanding criteria with a high degree of personalisation. Trainer matching, a structured programme adapted to your context, suitable lesson times and a choice of format help make learning relevant and enjoyable. Active practice, feedback and regular consolidation support lasting retention. You also benefit from career support and a learning community. OSAM is eduQua-certified, and selected pathways prepare you for recognised Swiss federal qualifications. Your chosen qualification and assessment are clearly agreed before you start.
Where can I find OSAM articles and interviews?+
Our shared journal highlights original articles and interviews published on osamformations.com, with the newest publications first. Follow the article link to read the full original.
