Professional associations, examination organizations, and authorities in Switzerland face increasingly complex challenges when it comes to federal examinations such as professional examinations (BP) and advanced professional examinations (HFP). The design, organization, and implementation of these examinations require the utmost precision.


This ranges from drawing up the examination regulations and determining the admission requirements to distributing and recognizing the professional certificates and diplomas. The administrative processing in particular ties up a lot of resources. Coordinating the examination office, the processes, the examiners, and the participants requires a high level of competence and experience.


This is where daylight comes in, our specialized software for exam organization. It enables the efficient organization and digital management of all processes related to federal exams, creates transparency, and ensures that everything runs smoothly.

Professional examination (BP)

Professional examinations (BP) are an important stage of higher vocational education in Switzerland. They enable professionals to acquire initial specialist knowledge in their field of work after completing their basic vocational training.


Admission to a professional examination usually requires a federal certificate of proficiency (EFZ) or an equivalent qualification, as well as several years of relevant professional experience.


Graduates receive the federal professional certificate upon passing the professional examination. The professional certificate is a recognized proof of advanced professional skills.


It can lead to titles such as “HR Specialist with Federal Certificate” or “HR Specialist with Federal Certificate.” It not only qualifies graduates for more demanding specialist and management tasks, but is also required for admission to a higher professional examination (HFP).


The professional examination provides in-depth knowledge in a specific field. It prepares graduates to take on more complex tasks independently.


Holders of a federal professional certificate work in many industries in middle management and share responsibility for training apprentices. They thus make an important contribution to securing vocational training and further developing their professional field.

Higher Professional Examination (HFP)

Higher professional examinations (HFP) are the highest federal examinations in higher vocational education in Switzerland. They are aimed at professionals who already have completed vocational training, several years of professional experience, and in-depth specialist knowledge.


Those who pass a higher professional examination receive a federal diploma, often referred to as a master's diploma. This diploma certifies the highest professional qualification and is recognized throughout Switzerland.


The aim of the higher professional examinations is to qualify professionals both as specialists and as future managers.


With the federal diploma, graduates demonstrate that they have the comprehensive skills required to independently handle complex tasks and assume entrepreneurial responsibility.


In many professional fields, there is both a professional examination (BP) and a higher professional examination (HFP), with the HFP requiring a significantly higher level of proficiency and more extensive professional experience.


The higher professional examinations are conducted by recognized institutions, professional associations, or specialized examination organizations. These are responsible for developing the examination regulations, determining the admission requirements, and designing and conducting the examinations.


Their tasks also include running the examination office and supporting candidates throughout the entire process. The exam content is very practice-oriented. It covers both in-depth technical knowledge and leadership and management skills. After successfully completing their studies, many graduates take on positions of responsibility in business or start their own businesses. They are also often involved in vocational training and educate the next generation of skilled workers.
