Background, orientation and purpose
SAWI was established in 1968. Over 450 practitioners teach at SAWI, professionals who have proven
throughout their careers that they are masters of their trade. From time to time, lecturers in specialist
subjects are deployed who pass on their knowledge of how to teach. In this way, the latest insights
into adult education are implemented through teaching. Along with an administrative staff of twenty,
the management responsible for courses and lecturers support the tutors with regard to methodology
as well as with further training and development, e.g. through joint ventures and the involvement of
international lecturers from the most renowned European universities.
As marketing and communications are so diverse, yet closely linked, leading professionals from
various industries meet each other at SAWI. They fire each other’s imaginations, find solutions, and
work together with SAWI on concepts for various courses and seminars. SAWI’s opinion counts when
it comes to debating examination requirements for numerous federally recognised diplomas. In SAWI
one can study for these without interrupting one’s career. Most of our courses can be attended part-
time.
