Welcome to SWISS READY
What is Swiss Ready?
We’re a team of expats who’ve gone through the process ourselves. Moving to Switzerland, navigating unfamiliar systems, learning the language, and slowly figuring out how things work, often the hard way. That experience is what shaped Swiss Ready.
This isn’t just about German classes. It’s about knowing what to expect at a registration office, how to write a CV that makes sense here, where to look for housing, how to prepare for a job interview in a different language, or what that official-looking letter actually means.
It’s about helping you feel informed, supported, and a little more at home, step by step.
We’ve built Swiss Ready to offer the kind of support we wished we had: practical, personal, and focused on what really matters when you’re starting over in a new place.
