Competency

The SwissAAA instruction program allows the students to acquire and master the skills required to be successful through the three steps 1: Aspire 2: Persist and 3: Prevail. A lot of emphasis is placed on the methodical, step by step buildup of capabilities. We avoid taking shortcuts, because those will often turn into barriers that block further advancement later on. 
Our instructors are very experienced in their field of expertise. Additionally, we work with selected partners to provide an optimal coverage and development of know how in order to provide maximum value to our students.
