At the source of knowledge

The PSI Education Center is located on the campus of the Paul Scherrer Institute and thus right where the research happens. PSI is the largest research institute for natural and engineering sciences in Switzerland and operates unique large-scale research facilities for cutting-edge research in the fields of future technologies, energy and climate, health innovation and fundamentals of nature.

Professionals from pratice and research - our recipe for success

Our course participants benefit from this proximity: The close cooperation of our full-time, didactically trained instructors with PSI researchers and professionals from the field guarantees that what is learned corresponds to the latest findings on the one hand and has a high practical value on the other.

An attractive mix of theory and application

An attractive mix of theory and application

We attach great importance to practical transfer: Thanks to our unique infrastructure, you will not only learn the relevant theory with us, but also apply your new knowledge immediately in our laboratories or on the training grounds. This ensures a maximum learning effect. Contemporary teaching and learning formats, such as e-learning units produced in-house and specially tailored to the needs of our participants, further support your learning success. You are guaranteed not to get bored in our courses.

We are characterized by versatility

Our course program focuses on basic and advanced training in the handling of ionizing radiation and radioactive substances, and is aimed at people working in nuclear facilities, in medicine, with partner organizations of civil protection, in trade, industry, research, teaching and transport, as well as in full-time and part-time radiation protection. We also offer safety training (chemistry, work, laser) as well as courses in specialist IT and programming.

Additionally, we offer interdisciplinary courses in leadership & management, appearance & personality, languages and IT applications.

We support our customers in the development of training concepts, in the organization and implementation of courses, operate a career center, offer mentoring programs and also act as facilitators and coaches.
