Commentaries: Art. 175

Continuing education is concerned with the knowledge and skills already acquired in the course of training. Continuing education must ensure that skills, knowledge and awareness of the state of the art and its application in practice are maintained and brought up to date.
Persons subject to mandatory continuing education must undergo a course of continuing education at least every five years.
The FDHA, in consultation with ENSI and the DDPS, may, taking into account the hazard potential:
1. specify shorter or longer intervals for continuing education courses;
2. specify that the continuing education must be recognised.
