Benedict ist eine top Schule! Ich habe nur gute Erfahrungen gemacht, vom Schulstoff, über die Dozenten bis zur Administration. Ich fühlte mich zu 100% wohl bei Benedict und kann die Schule nur jedem weiterempfehlen!

Die Bénédict-Schule hat mir sehr viel beigebracht, vor allem habe ich mein Deutsch verbessert und viel viel neues gelernt. Ich bin nur drei Jahre in der Schweiz und damals dachte ich, dass das unheimlich schwer für mich wird, aber ich habe es geschafft und will noch weiter studieren. Bis bald!

Gerade habe ich den Blockchain Kurs an der Benedict beendet. Unser Lehrer, Herr Altinok, war so wie man sich einen Lehrer wünscht, motiviert und gut vorbereitet. Viel Arbeitsmaterial wurde vorgelegt und auch als ich fehlte, wurde mir ein Dossier zusammengestellt. Klar war es nicht einfach nach einem langen Arbeitstag noch die Schulbank zu drücken, im Nachhinein muss ich aber sagen, es hat richtig Spass gemacht. Die Klasse war super, zudem hat es mich neu vernetzt. Mein Fazit; ich kann jedem einen Kurs an der Benedict empfehlen.

ECAP Winterthur was founded in 1970 and the first training courses took place in the metalworking and mechanical engineering sector. Training for welders was particularly in demand because the large industrial companies in Winterthur such as Sulzer, Loki, Rieter and Geilinger in particular needed these specialists. In response to the employment crisis in the 1980s and the wave of immigration from all over Europe, Asia, Africa and South America, the range of courses on offer has been continuously adapted and expanded to meet new needs. Today, the demand for further training of migrants focuses primarily on the acquisition of the German language. Computer science courses for beginners are also popular. We are proud to continue to make a significant contribution to the integration work of the City of Winterthur with our range of courses. ECAP Winterthur has many years of experience and competence in educational work and has over 70 qualified and well-trained employees.
