Vocational Training Support: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how to access subsidies for professional certification courses to help upskill in your current trade.
This scheme provides financial assistance to help workers gain new skills or professional certifications within their specific trade.
Who it's for
This support is intended for employees who are looking to upskill or improve their expertise within their current professional trade.
What you get
You can receive subsidies to help cover the costs of professional certification courses. This assistance is designed to make it easier to stay current with industry standards and formalize your expertise.
What it costs you
There is no direct fee to apply, but you must go through the formal application process via your local Jobcenter or the Agentur für Arbeit.
The catch to know
The most important thing to remember is that you must receive official approval for the funding before you begin your training. If you start the course before getting the green light, you may not be able to claim the subsidy.

- Contact your local employment agency or Jobcenter.
- Discuss your training goals and the specific certification you need.
- Submit a formal application for the subsidy.
- Wait for official approval before enrolling in the course.
