Driving schools & logistics
AZAV for
driving schools & logistics.
Build an education business around vocational mobility: with suitable driver qualifications, a clear labour-market connection and the necessary existing permissions.
The business perspective
Turn professional mobility into a training offer.
Driving schools and logistics companies know the demands of transport operations. This can lead to training for new entrants, career changers or employees. External course participants and your own staff are different funding and billing cases.
Who could this suit?
Driving schools, recognised training centres, haulage, transport and logistics companies.
Possible training offers
The following approaches are starting points for programme design, not pre-approved product packages.
- Professional driver qualification with a suitable driving licence component
- Accelerated initial qualification at a recognised training centre
- Warehousing and logistics skills
- Vocational partial qualifications with a recognised objective
The appropriate funding route
Suitable continuing education under § 81 or § 82 SGB III. Driving licence categories, theory, practice and special entries in the B-DKS table must be classified separately.

Useful questions
What you should know first.
Can I start as an individual?
A small organisation is possible in principle. What matters is demonstrable professional and teaching competence, reliability, suitable equipment, functioning quality management and a financially viable plan. A particular job title alone is not sufficient.
Does AZAV automatically bring me participants?
No. Approval, individual funding decisions and actual enrolment are separate steps. Demand, relationships with companies and a credible training offer need to be developed.
Can my company train its own employees and receive money for it?
Staff development and operating as a training provider are different roles. Internal training does not automatically generate fundable provider revenue. For your own or affiliated companies, funding eligibility, cost allocation and billing must be clarified with the Employer Service in advance. Mandatory training and purely operational inductions are not generally eligible under § 82.
