IMS Preparation

IMS Preparation Courses in Zürich

Every year, many Swiss students take the IMS entrance exam. In Zürich, the exam takes place at the end of October. This exam is the big challenge that your children have to master if they want to attend a computer science middle school, or IMS for short, in Switzerland. The IMS is a 4-year education that follows attendance at the third level of secondary school.

The school itself is attended for three full years before a one-year internship in a company is on the schedule. The final qualification is the commercial vocational baccalaureate and the certificate of proficiency as an IT specialist. The latter in particular is becoming increasingly important in today's world, which is why many students decide to the Computer Science Middle School.

In addition, graduation from the Informatikmittelschule enables students to enter higher technical schools and to study at universities of applied sciences. However, in order to benefit from the great opportunities and possibilities of this professional field, your children must first successfully pass the IMS entrance exam. This is exactly what we have been helping a wide variety of Swiss students to do for many years at the Lern-Forum in Zürich.
