Security & § 34a
AZAV for
security companies.
Turn everyday security expertise into sound vocational training. For example, preparation for the IHK proficiency examination under § 34a GewO.
The business perspective
Teach security skills. Consider staff development too.
A security company can develop a training offer for the external market while building access to qualified applicants. This requires a clear distinction between training services, subsequent employment and any placement services.
Who could this suit?
Security services, experienced professionals and continuing education providers for protection and security.
Possible training offers
The following approaches are starting points for programme design, not pre-approved product packages.
- Preparation for the proficiency examination under § 34a GewO
- Legal foundations and situation-specific communication
- De-escalation and work-related documentation
- Practical qualification modules for protection and security
The appropriate funding route
A labour-market-oriented preparation course can be assessed as continuing education. For your own staff, the conditions and exclusions of employee training support must be checked 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.
