SIVT
Swiss Vocational Training

The Gold Standard of Vocational Education.

Switzerland's dual-track VET system is globally recognized for producing highly skilled professionals. Now, this proven model is available in Dubai — and worldwide.

Your Path to Certification

The SIVT programme is structured to take you from foundational knowledge to certified professional. Theory and practice run side by side throughout — you are always building real, applicable skills.

1. Theory (Online Modules)

You work through structured online modules covering the fundamental concepts, technologies, and methods of your programme. Each module follows the official Swiss Federal curriculum and concludes with an individual assessment. Passing is required before advancing to the next module.

  • Core Modules
  • Advanced Subjects
  • Self-paced Learning
The Dual Advantage

2. Practice (Work)

Alongside your modules, you apply what you learn in practice — on your job or with partner companies. Students already working in an ICT role can often count their current position as their practical training component.

  • Partner Company Projects
  • Real-world Experience
  • Earn While You Learn

3. Certification (IPA)

After completing the mandatory modules required for the Diploma, students undertake the Individual Practical Assignment (IPA) — a 10-day capstone project that serves as the final qualification project of the programme, assessed by Swiss-certified examiners.

Upon successful completion, you receive a recognised ICT qualification — equivalent to EQF Level 4.

  • Recognised ICT Qualification — EQF Level 4
  • IPA Capstone Project
  • Internationally Recognised
