Practical guidance

The E-learning is intended for anyone working in the Swiss financial sector or interested in Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) such as mediation, particularly commercial mediation.

It also aims to support the integration of the Ombudsman Office (or “Mediation Body”) as defined in the Financial Services Act (FinSA) into a company’s complaints management, in addition to contributing to the successful development of ADR in Switzerland.

The course is available in four languages: English, German, French and Italian. It can also be used to fulfil part of the requirements under Articles 6 and 22 FinSA.
