Whether a seminar is funded is not decided by the institute but by the body that funds it. We therefore cannot promise funding. What we can do is explain which routes exist, which documents you need and what we issue for them.
Funding at a glance
- Decision: always made by the funding body
- Application: made by you or your employer
- Documents from us: invoice showing VAT, certificate of attendance, certificate, seminar programme
- Timing: applications are usually made before the training starts
- Advice: by phone on +49 89 62 82 4893
Routes that exist
The overview below describes instruments that exist in Germany for professional training.
| Route | Who uses it | What is usually required |
|---|---|---|
| Training voucher | Employees and job seekers in particular situations | A recognised provider and measure, agreed with the placement officer |
| Programmes run by the federal states | Employees of small and medium-sized companies | Company based in that state, company size, application before the start |
| Scholarships | Young professionals, people returning to work | Meeting the requirements of the specific programme |
| Tax deductibility | Self-payers and companies | Invoice and proof of attendance, for employees as income-related expenses |
| Educational leave under state law | Employees | Release under the law of the respective federal state |
Important: whether one of these instruments applies in your situation depends on your status, your federal state, your employer and the individual programme. That decision rests with the funding body. We do not claim that our seminars are recognised under a specific programme unless that has been verified.
How we work together
- You tell us what you plan: which seminar, which date, for whom. A call to +49 89 62 82 4893 is enough.
- We check the order of events: what matters is that the application is submitted before the training starts. So we first establish when you have to book, so that funding does not fail on the date.
- We issue the documents: invoice, certificate of attendance, certificate, seminar programme with content and scope, in the form funding bodies usually ask for.
- You submit: the application runs through you or your employer. We have no access to funding portals and cannot speed anything up there.
- After the seminar: you receive certificate of attendance and certificate directly and submit them if the funding body asks for them.
What we can do for you
- Issue documents in a form that does not come back from the funding body
- Describe the scope and content of a seminar in writing so the training can be justified
- Provide wording on target group, learning objectives and scope that you can use in an application
- For in-house training, produce a quote stating the nature and scope of the service
What we cannot do
- Approve or reject funding
- Claim a programme or a recognition that has not been verified
- Submit the application for you or monitor the deadlines of your funding body
We cannot answer that across the board, because the answer depends on the programme and on your situation. It can only be checked with the body that funds. We are happy to issue the documents in a form that is usable for an application.
Usually before the training starts. If you are unsure, clarify it with the funding body first and book afterwards, so that you do not pay upfront and then sit on the cost.
An invoice showing VAT, a certificate of attendance after the seminar and the AEI participation certificate. To justify an application we also provide a description of content, scope, target group and learning objectives.
We supply content and documents, the application is made by you or your employer. For the written justification we provide wording you can use.
