¹ The cost of ma­ter­i­als and rent­al space is not covered by the ex­am­in­a­tion fees men­tioned in Art­icle 41 VPETA and must be paid for in part or in full by the host com­pan­ies them­selves.

² If qual­i­fic­a­tion pro­ced­ures are or­gan­ised for in­di­vidu­als who have not un­der­gone form­al vo­ca­tion­al edu­ca­tion and train­ing, the au­thor­ity may re­quire that the can­did­ates them­selves pay all or part of the as­so­ci­ated costs.

³ The rules on shar­ing the costs of qual­i­fic­a­tion pro­ced­ures or­gan­ised for in­di­vidu­als who lack form­al vo­ca­tion­al qual­i­fic­a­tions must be sub­mit­ted to SERI for ap­prov­al, as long as the qual­i­fic­a­tion pro­ced­ures are not or­gan­ised at the can­ton­al level.

⁴ The in­come from fees charged for fed­er­al pro­fes­sion­al ex­am­in­a­tions may not ex­ceed the full costs in­curred by the group of spon­sors, cal­cu­lated on the basis of a six-year av­er­age, in­clud­ing sums al­loc­ated to a re­serve fund.
