The Intercultural Trainer Academy is currently recognized as Bildungsurlaub* in the following German federal states:

  • Baden-Württemberg[1]
  • Berlin (for participants who need the seminar content in their main occupation)
  • Brandenburg (for participants who need the seminar content in their main occupation)
  • Bremen
  • Hamburg (only for 10-days program and only for participants who can use the seminar content in their main occupation)
  • Hessen
  • Niedersachsen (only for participants with verifiable reference to their main occupation)
  • Rheinland-Pfalz***
  • Saarland[3]
  • Sachsen-Anhalt
  • Schleswig-Holstein
  • Thüringen

Note: There is no Law on Educational Leave in the federal states Bayern and Sachsen. Sadly Mecklenburg-Vorpommern due to a change of law no longer accepts our training hours so the recognition was revoked. (according to §11 Nr. 6 BfG M-V there is no possibility for recognition because the minimum of 8 teaching hours per day is not reached due to a shorter program on fridays)

Do not hesitate to get in touch if you want to know more about the benefits of Bildungsurlaub!
