German workers can join the Bildungsurlaub program, a training leave that consist of 5 or 10 days during working days. The course is paid for by the worker, who however will continue to be paid and will not have any days deducted from holidays.

The bureaucratic process varies according to each Länder, but in general it has to be presented to the employer:
– the request for leave for training leave
– the certificate of enrollment in the chosen course/school
– the study programme.

To confirm your registration for our Bildungsurlaub course, we ask you to fill in the registration form and pay a deposit of €100.

The Bildungsurlaub program consists of 30 hours per week: 28 hours of Italian language and culture lessons, both in groups and individually, and 2 hours of extra-curricular activities, compulsory for all program participants.

Further documentation necessary for the request to participate from your employer will be possible to receive after registration.
