Bildungsurlaub FAQ's
What is educational leave?
Educational leave (Bildungsurlaub) allows employees in Germany to take time off work to attend approved educational courses, such as language programs, without losing pay. Our educational leave Spanish classes have been officially certified by the German government and are accredited for these extra educational vacations called "Bildungsurlaub".
