“After 4 weeks of the training I can say that the ISS bootcamp is one of the greatest experience in my professional working life.” Serhat Daye
This pilot initiative to cope with acute shortage of Medtech experts took successfully place in March and during an intensive month of training, carefully selected boot campers received the essential knowledge to be able to work in Q or RA departments or as Product Managers with a solid Medical Device Industry Background.
The core topics of this intensive training program were the life cycle management of a medical device and of course the implementation of MDR. Part of the essence of the Bootcamp were the interdisciplinary events in which experts reflected on various aspects of the industry and shared their knowledge.
Bootcamp graduates are now ready to put their knowledge into practice. Your benefit as a company is an accelerated onboarding of a new certified resource having a steeper learning curve than other newcomers and who can therefore immediately unfold her/his potential.
You can learn more about the available profiles and recruit a young talent for your RA/Q or Product Management department by contacting us at

“All good. Very good atmosphere. The course is intense but it should be like this.” - Corinne Ackermann
“Even if this is the first (Pilot) bootcamp, I always realised that the whole bootcamp content was created in such a professional way to teach the participants the real world with all the theoretically and practically information regarding RA and QA. Preparing daily wrap ups - real world presenters - learning games - group tasks were the highlights of the bootcamp.” - Serhat Daye

Bernhard led Swissmedic’s Medical Device Department during the past 7 years and was a member of various European Working groups. Among others, he was a very active member of the CAMD Executive Group (https://www.camd-europe.eu), where he was heavily involved in MDR/IVDR implementation activities.
Originally, he started-off as an Electrical Engineer, focused on production, verification and validation, component testing, quality systems and supplier audits. On top, he holds an Executive MBA in General Management from the University of St. Gallen.
At ISS Bernhard will act as strategic business developer and senior consultant, and he will be a member of the executive board.
Due to the present context (COVID-19), we slightly adapted the program of our Medtech Bootcamp. We decided that the lectures will be held remotely (webinar) from today on.
Only the crews who remain welded and join forces can keep the boat floating and maintain the right heading…
It was very interesting to have Andreas Baier, Director & Principal of Ergonomics Factory GmbH as our guest speaker.
