This means an approved leave of absence from the employer for educational studies that contribute to employee training and development.
German employees have the right to 5 days off each year to study at a recognized school while still receiving their salary.

What are the criteria for a Spanish school to be accredited?
The criteria vary greatly from one federal state to another. In general, the minimum requirements are to offer a course with at least 30 lessons per week, provide clear objectives, content, and a detailed schedule.
Some German states require a separate application for each level and each language school destination, while others accept all levels and destinations from a language school. In other states, in addition to the language course, some lessons in local political education may be required.
How can you benefit from the approval of Bildungsurlaub or Bildungszeit?
The Instituto Hispánico de Murcia has already been added to the list of officially recognized Spanish schools, so German workers can receive paid leave to study at our school.
Employees are entitled to 5 days of leave per year or ten days every two consecutive years for education, professional development, or qualification for voluntary work.
Training leave is, therefore, an attractive and current tool to meet the demands of lifelong learning and represents an important competitive and location factor for German companies.
How can you apply for this training?
Your bosses should care about your personal development, so you’ll need to talk to them and explain that improving your Spanish, immersing yourself in another culture, and meeting new people will have a much more positive impact than typical corporate training sessions and team-building exercises.
Generally, to enroll, you must present the course programme and schedule to your boss or the human resources department. In order to send you the correct documents, we first need to assess your Spanish language skills.
If you’re unsure about your level, you can take our Spanish level test—either in person or online—so we can place you in the right group. Once you have registered and paid the course fee, we can provide you with a personal enrollment certificate, which you may need for your employer.
