Semi-skilled and unskilled working people in Switzerland have access to several pathways leading to a basic vocational education qualification at secondary level II (ISCED 3B). Depending on the particular prerequisites, credit for informally acquired competences can be awarded in varying ways. The article sets out the existing pathways to second-chance vocational qualification in Switzerland. The prime concern is to show the status accorded to the recognition of prior learning within these pathways. In conclusion, reference is made to current challenges and broader perspectives.
