Become a bso Training Partner and Benefit from Our Community
Position your training and professional development programmes in coaching, supervision, or organisational consulting as quality-assured, recognised, and visible within Switzerland’s leading professional association. We provide professional guidance throughout the certification process for your courses, supporting you from the initial inquiry to the final contractual agreement.
How to Become a Member
This process ensures the high quality of your training and guarantees sustainable alignment with bso standards. The accreditation process is designed to be transparent, consistent, and collaborative. It provides you with a clear basis for decision-making and allows for reliable internal planning.
Step 1: Inquiry and Initial Consultation
In this dialogue, we clarify your individual starting point and the specific requirements of the bso. Together, we establish a timeline for the entire certification process and define the next steps.
Step 2: Submission of Documentation
You compile your application dossier, including the curricula of your courses and the qualifications of your faculty. This documentation should be supplemented by your institute's own quality assurance policy and submitted digitally to our department.
Step 3: Professional Assessment and Accreditation
We conduct a detailed analysis of your documents based on bso quality standards. Upon successful completion, you will be officially recognised as a bso training partner and your offerings will be published in the education calendar.
