The autopfleger.ch foundation course
The historical autopfleger.ch foundation course introduced people to professional vehicle care through product-independent practical teaching.
Course content
The two-day format covered wash methods, basic paint assessment, plastics, glass and introductory paint refinement. Participants worked at their own pace with supervised practice.
Assessment and certificate
The final practical exercise asked participants to complete a basic preparation process. Successful completion led to a certificate and a one-year licence under the programme’s former terms.
This certificate documented course participation and assessed knowledge; it was not a regulated Swiss professional qualification or a guarantee of employment.
Historical availability
The “first and only school in Switzerland” claim and current course availability are not verified here. Prospective students should request the latest syllabus, trainer details, assessment criteria, fees and recognition before enrolling.
