The BA currently cites a subsidy of 75 percent for companies with less than 50 employees in the individual process, 50 percent for companies with less than 500 employees and 25 percent for companies with 500 or more employees. Up to 100 percent is possible if you do not have a professional qualification and take part in further vocational training.

According to the BA, 100 percent is planned for companies with less than 50 employees in the individual procedure, 50 percent for companies with less than 500 employees and 25 percent for companies with over 500 employees. For employees aged 45 and over and for severely disabled people, up to 100 percent of the costs should be covered by companies with fewer than 500 employees.

The BA expressly describes it as an alternative to the subsidies for wages and the classic assumption of costs.
The most important requirements are currently:
- a structural change-related qualification requirement of a significant part of the workforce,
- a company-related regulation or a collective agreement; In the case of companies with less than 10 employees, a written declaration of the company is sufficient,
- more than 120 hours of training,
- an educational institution approved by AZAV,

Prerequisites for classic further training funding
For the classic support of individual employees or in the collective application, the BA in particular states these requirements:
- The training includes more than 120 hours,

- Knowledge and skills that go beyond purely short-term adaptation training are taught,
- The training can be organized full-time, part-time or part-time.

Which funding can be possible
What is meant by "qualification offensive"?
On your website, the term should be understood as a collective designation for the further training funding of the Federal Employment Agency. Specifically, it is about advice, grants for further training costs, subsidies for wages and – in certain cases – about qualification allowance. The BMAS classifies the Qualification Opportunity Act as part of the qualification offensive

It is primarily aimed at employees in the existing employment relationship and at companies that would like to further qualify their employees. The BA points out that the funding is usually carried out jointly with the company.
What is funded?
Depending on the case, course costs, subsidies for wages, additional further training costs and, in the case of structural change-related qualification requirements, qualification money can also be funded.
Are there fixed subsidies?
Yes, when it comes to individual support, the BA calls fixed orientation values according to company size. In the classic procedure, this is currently 75/50/25 percent in the wage subsidy and 100/50/25 percent in the course costs; Under certain conditions, higher subsidies are possible
What is the difference between classic support and qualification money?
In the case of classic funding, wage subsidies and course costs can be subsidized. The qualification allowance, on the other hand, is a separate compensation payment for companies in structural change if a relevant part of the workforce has to be further qualified
