However, the regulations for the promotion of non-consecutive and further-reaching master's and MBA courses are much more complex than in consecutiveCourses, since the exact differentiation of the individual training sections is very important. Whether or not you have worked through it, apart from the rules for the highest age, is not important.

Vocational training

BAföG according to § 7,1, as a grant and loan, you only get for a first job qualifying Vocational Training, about one University. The entitlement to funding is then exhausted when a professional qualification is achieved.

It is unimportant whether you received BAföG during this time or not. Vocational training is training that includes basic vocational training or professional skills and, as a rule, also vocational qualification imparted beyond the secondary general school education.

Such a qualification is, for example, a first, basic degree to a master's degree, a bachelor's degree or a master's degree (see this important distinction above). If you start a non-consecutive or further education master, you are already a student, behind you and you are no longer eligible for funding according to § 7,1.

However, if you complete this first vocational training in less than three years, you will be eligible for further training according to BAföG § 7,1 - even if the three-year period is considerably exceeded. Only the promotion of a third training would then take place according to § 7,2 BAföG.

Basic education

But there are also training courses that do not exhaust the basic entitlement to BAföG according to § 7,1. Company training, for example, that is not carried out at a training center that can be funded under BAföG consume the basic funding entitlement according to BAföG § 7,1.

General educational training, which according to BAföG § 7,1 is eligible for funding indefinitely until reaching university entrance qualification, without this affecting the basic funding entitlement. General educational training is therefore not "further training" within the meaning of BAföG § 7,2, even if a professional qualification has already been obtained. Conclusion: If you have completed an in-company or general education school education, but no studies or any other type of education, you are still entitled to BAföG according to § 7,1.

Attention - exhausting the BAföG claim also abroad

Discounts for your success (advertising)!

A vocational qualification is a qualification even if it has been acquired abroad and enables it to work there. With the exception of a company or general education, the entitlement to BAföG according to § 7,1 is also used here. An international study is therefore also a qualification qualifying as a professional qualification.

And anyone who has acquired a vocational qualification abroad, then starts at home earlier and then resumes interrupted education abroad, is not entitled to basic education, but to the promotion of a second education.

Education voucher master

If you want to do a master's, you've got quite a few Alternatives: For all further education (but not for the training measures!), the employment agency issues education vouchers, which you can only use after detailed Consulting get from the employment counselor – if you meet the conditions and the counselor agrees.

The employment agency primarily takes on the task as part of an education voucher Costs of the course. This includes learning materials and work clothes as well as examination pieces and examination fees. In addition, the employment agency will pay you a flat rate for travel expenses to the educational institution.

What does the employment agency do?

It is therefore advantageous if the Further Training takes place as close to your place of residence as it costs the BA less Money – and your sponsorship becomes more likely. If no suitable measure is taking place nearby, the costs for accommodation and meals are also reimbursed. It is unimportant whether the measure takes place in another federal state; in some cases this is not possible otherwise, because certain Measures are only carried out in a few places in Germany.

If you receive unemployment benefit, it will continue to be paid during the training period. If you work while continuing your education, the requirements are reduced accordingly. During the training period, you are automatically included in the statutory health and nursing care insurance insured. If you had pension insurance in the last year before the start of the further training, you will remain so, if not you can submit a corresponding application. If necessary, the BA will take over all insurances. You are always insured against accidents during the training and the journey there. If the further training is carried out during an existing employment relationship, your employer can receive a subsidy towards your wages.

You are looking for, the work agency pays!

The employment agency now leaves the agony of the education voucher to you Choiceto find out the right further education - within certain limits, of course, because the education voucher precisely defines the educational objective of the measure.

You can use it to find an educational measure that is exactly tailored to your needs needs is tailored and is not simply imposed on you. However, you are on your own when looking for suitable further training. The duration and learning objective are clearly defined on the vouchers to prevent you from choosing the wrong one.

SomeCourses just do not take place?

The vouchers offer a certain freedom in the selection, but has this System a major disadvantage: WhileCourses used to be firmly booked and staffed by the employment office, which of course led to unsuitable measures being taken from time to time, the further training providers now hardly have the opportunity to do the right thing to plan. It can then happen that courses are canceled shortly before the start due to insufficient capacity - and that can cost you dearly if the education voucher then expires.

An education voucher has only a period of validity of a maximum of three months. If during this time he is not taken over by a suitable training provider (for whatever reason), he declines. So take the time to ask for alternatives, if a further training fails.
