Qualification Opportunities Act (Qualifizierungschancengesetz)

Funding for our qualifications is both available to you as an employer as well as to your employees, e.g. nurses. Support your nurses and doctors with advanced training! You can receive advanced training funding (training costs and continued payment of wages) from the employment agency for the duration of the training.

The Qualification Opportunities Act (QCG), passed January 1st, 2019, has significantly extended and improved possibilities for funding of advanced training. Further adjustments for employer and employee needs were implemented with the act for promoting vocational further education in the process of structural change and for further developing educational funding (the so-called Work For Tomorrow-Act – “AvmG”), passed Mai 29th 2020.

With the Act the federal employment agency supports employees’ qualifications. For companies with up to 10 members of staff up to 100% advanced training costs are covered. This provides a possibility for example for doctor’s offices or pharmacies to support their employees’ professional and specialist development. For small or medium-sized companies with up to 250 members of staff up to 50% advanced training costs are covered. Also big companies like yours with more than 2.500 members of staff profit from advanced training funds of up to 20% when requirements are met.
