What is Bildungsurlaub?
Bildungsurlaub allows German employees to attend courses on special kinds of topics during their work time. In order for an employee to be able to take this educational leave, they must make arrangements to study with an approved institution. The list of areas in which we are approved for employees to come and study with us is below.
Counties we are approved within:
Berlin
Brandenburg
Bremen
Hessen
Niedersachsen
Rheinland-Pfalz
Saarland
Every employee in Germany who is working for their company for at least six months has the right to take Bildungsurlaub; with the exception of Baden-Württemberg and Saarland, where the employee has to be employed for at least 12 months.
At Meridian School of English we are proud to be able to offer a Bildungsurlaub course that will help you to improve and put your English skills into action. With both a one week and two-week option available, you are able to select the best one to match your employer’s requirements.
