Questions about further training
What is an education voucher (Bildungsgutschein)?
With an education voucher, the employment agency (Agentur für Arbeit) or the Jobcenter agrees to pay for vocational further training or retraining. You can get it from the office responsible for you.
How long is the education voucher valid?
For a maximum of three months after approval. The training must start within this time – so please contact us early.
What should I bring to my appointment with the employment agency or the Jobcenter?
Information about the course you want, your previous job applications and job adverts for which the training would help you.
How does registration work?
At the advice appointment, we find the right training for you and do a short aptitude test. Then we register you for your Viona module.
How long does further training take?
From a few days to several months – depending on the course and whether you study full-time or part-time. One lesson lasts 45 minutes.
Can I try Viona first?
Yes, you are welcome to join a trial lesson. Just ask us.
