Automotive & vehicle care
AZAV for
automotive services & vehicle detailing.
Teach automotive expertise professionally: with demonstrable learning objectives, suitable equipment and a realistic vocational perspective.
The business perspective
Workshop expertise as a separate training service.
Automotive businesses and vehicle detailers can turn professional methods into a vocational continuing education concept. Relevant task profiles are those needed for employment or professional development. The course must not simply be a product sale labelled as training.
Who could this suit?
Vehicle detailers, automotive businesses, workshop chains and suitable specialist trainers.
Possible training offers
The following approaches are starting points for programme design, not pre-approved product packages.
- Professional vehicle care and detailing processes
- Quality assurance and operational documentation
- Digital workshop organisation
- Technical training within the scope of existing permissions
The appropriate funding route
Assessment as vocational continuing education under § 81 or § 82 SGB III. The training objective and qualification level determine the relevant cost reference.

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.
