Service for Schools

What is Bildungsurlaub and how does it work?

In many Federal States within Germany employees can take educational leave for 5 days a year or 10 days if they have not taken it the previous year. Therefore, your language courses have to be recognized as Bildungsurlaub by the german authorities of the different Federal States.

Our experience has shown that many language schools have troubles to manage the whole process of getting these recognitions in Germany. Due to these circumstances, we made it to our priority to help these schools with the topic “Bildungsurlaub” – fast, uncomplicated and professional.
