Other sectors
AZAV for
other sectors & education providers.
Retail, office work, hospitality, logistics or an established academy: the training objective and your organisation's competence are what matter.
The business perspective
The sector alone is not decisive. Your plans are.
Many companies have knowledge they can teach. We assess whether it can become a viable funded offer by looking at the target group, labour market and feasibility. Existing providers can add programmes, locations or fields of activity and develop their processes further.
Who could this suit?
Companies with relevant expertise, freelance lecturers, continuing education providers, and new or existing education providers.
Possible training offers
The following approaches are starting points for programme design, not pre-approved product packages.
- Commercial and digital office skills
- Retail, sales and e-commerce
- Professional service and organisational skills
- New fields of activity, locations or programmes for existing providers
The appropriate funding route
The appropriate funding route is identified first. A list of sectors is not an exhaustive list of eligible offers.

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.
