WOSTEP
The WOSTEP Foundation is a neutral and independent training center dedicated to passing on Swiss watchmaking expertise. Supported by the leading players in the Swiss watchmaking industry, the WOSTEP Foundation offers specialized training programs aimed at preserving the high standards of traditional Swiss watchmaking, while also providing consulting services tailored to the industry’s evolving needs.
Founded in 1966 in Neuchâtel under the impulse of the Swiss watchmaking industry, WOSTEP became a non-profit association in 1986, then a foundation under Swiss law in 2006. Starting in 1994, the institution developed the Global Partnership concept, a network of partner horology schools applying its 3,000-hour program for Horologist (watchmaker)-repairer; this curriculum was officially recognized in 2009 by the Swiss federal vocational training authorities as a component of adult horological training in Switzerland. The Global Partnership now brings together schools on several continents, offering examinations in multiple languages. To learn more: wOSTEP Foundation’s “About” page.
Employers around the world recognize WOSTEP certification as proof of technical skills and a testament to solid training.
