What is the Bildungsgutschein?
A Bildungsgutschein is an education voucher issued by Germany’s Agentur für Arbeit to help people gain the skills they need to find a job or switch to a new career path.
What does the Bildungsgutschein cover?
The Bildungsgutschein covers 100% of tuition fees for AZAV-certified courses, training, or bootcamps - so you can focus on building your future without money holding you back.
At Turing College, we’re proud to be AZAV-certified, which means our programs meet the high-quality standards set by the German government. They are officially recognised by the Agentur für Arbeit, ensuring you’re getting training that’s trusted and relevant.
Who can apply for a Bildungsgutschein?
The Bildungsgutschein is available to anyone living in Germany, including foreign nationals with official resident status (confirmed by an Anmeldebescheinigung).
If this sounds like you, the Bildungsgutschein could be your chance to gain the skills you need for a fresh start. Just keep in mind, it’s mostly given to people who are unemployed, so getting approved while still employed is uncommon unless your job is clearly at risk.
You may qualify if you are:
Unemployed and receiving Arbeitslosengeld I or Bürgergeld.
On reduced hours (Kurzarbeit).
At risk of losing your job, such as having a short-term contract ending soon (3 months or less) or a redundancy notice.
In need of training to secure your current job or meet qualification requirements.
