Understanding the measurement, pattern, cutting, fitting, and alteration competencies expected in the Swiss federal clothing-maker apprenticeship (Bekleidungsgestalter/in EFZ)
What the source establishes
Switzerland official career and vocational information portal, berufsberatung.ch, operated by the SDBB service centre on behalf of the cantonal education authorities, describes the federal Bekleidungsgestalter/in EFZ apprenticeship. Listed core tasks include recording customer measurements for patterns (Schnittmuster), transferring patterns onto fabric and cutting, carrying out fittings (Anproben), making alterations, and optimising fit, alongside sketching garments and processing details such as zips, buttons, and linings. It is a three-year federal vocational education and training programme leading to the Eidgenoessisches Faehigkeitszeugnis, with women-wear and men-wear directions.
The linked responsible-body page states the jurisdiction and requirements summarized in this record.
What this record does not prove
This is a vocational profession profile and apprenticeship overview, not a pattern-cutter-only occupational standard, a practitioner directory, a course guarantee, a provider endorsement, a professional licence, a universal pattern method, or proof that an individual meets the competency. It describes a Swiss federal VET context and does not establish current training places, provider quality, assessment outcome, experience, workmanship, availability, price, or fit for a particular project. Confirm the current federal education plan and ordinance, provider, admission, delivery, assessment, and portfolio evidence directly.
A reachable official source can verify identity, stated scope, and access. It cannot silently become an audit of workmanship, delivery, labor conditions, or suitability for your project.
