Training subsidy

What can you apply training subsidy for?

We will pay a maximum of 150 € per member per year for fee-based courses.

You can apply for Specia training subsidy for open university and university of applied sciences studies, expert seminars or fee-based courses, for example. You can apply twice for the same course of study if the studies continue from one calendar year to the next. Travel, accommodation and material costs are not eligible to be compensated. You can apply for training support for several courses at the same time, but the amount of aid granted will not exceed 150 € per year.

Properly paid membership fees are a prerequisite for the granting of training subsidy. It cannot be applied for during a membership fee waiver period (e.g. a sign-up campaign) and cannot be applied for retroactively for training fees from previous years.
