About |
Bildungsurlaub Approval is Germany's leading specialist for the recognition of international language courses as Bildungsurlaub (educational leave). Based in Cologne, we help language schools worldwide gain official approval for their courses, enabling them to access the German professional development and lifelong learning market.
We currently support around 300 language schools across Europe and beyond by managing the complete approval process with German authorities. Our services include application preparation, documentation, regulatory compliance, communication with state authorities and ongoing expert advice, allowing schools to focus on delivering high-quality language education while we handle the administrative process.
With employees in 14 German federal states currently entitled to educational leave—and additional states expected to introduce similar legislation—Bildungsurlaub represents a valuable opportunity for language schools to attract German learners seeking professional and personal development.
Bildungsurlaub Approval is a preferred partner of IALC (International Association of Language Centres), FEDELE (Federación Española de Asociaciones de Escuelas de Español para Extranjeros) and Qualité FLE, and is a member of the FDSV (German Association of Language Travel Operators). Our expertise, industry partnerships and personalised support have made us a trusted partner for language schools looking to expand their presence in the German continuing education market.
