Please let's not close the thread. There are always English-speaking people moving to Switzerland who are exploring their options, education and careers. The discussion here could help some of them. Thanks.

	Hi, ...I did not do this course in the end although I know several people who did. It’s a means to an end, you won’t get qualified in Switzerland without it. Unless you are happy studying in German in which case there are other options.

Please, about those people you know who did the course: do you know whether they then managed, on the basis thereof, to obtain a recognition in Switzerland, as being qualified, and if so, with which professional board? I think that'd be very useful information. Thank you.

Hello, Webster University offers a blended program: half classes held in Geneva, half classes held in Zürich. This is an MA in Counselling degree program in English language. Currently all classes are online due to pandemic.

Good luck and there are about 10 of us now in the Zürich area taking part in this program.

This sounds like a great option for expats who are spending a few years in Switzerland, and know that they will return to their English-speaking country.

For anyone who intends to stay, though:

Do you know, yet, what you will be able to do with your qualification, in Switzerland?
Do you know whether it suffices (perhaps with local language skills) to open the doors to a registration with a Swiss professional board?
Do you know any alumni who've already achieved this in Switzerland?

Once you get your Master's, you can set up your own counseling practice here. If you want you can also do additional exams in German at SGfB for extra recognition. First graduating student of this blended program will be finishing the program this Summer/Fall.
