Nursing & care
AZAV for
nursing & home care.
Pass on care expertise systematically: with vocational learning objectives, suitable teaching staff and clear boundaries between continuing education, mandatory instruction and regulated professional qualifications.
The business perspective
Turn care experience into professional continuing education.
Home care services and other care companies have experience that can be valuable to new staff and professionals developing their skills. A training division can reach external audiences. For your own team, first check whether the proposed development goes beyond everyday induction and is eligible for funding.
Who could this suit?
Home care services, care facilities, experienced nursing professionals and specialist education providers.

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.
