Who writes here?
The guide and information content on Bildungsurlaub-Berater is written and maintained by the Redaktion Bildungsurlaub-Berater — a team specialised in educational leave (Bildungsurlaub) in Germany.
Our standards
- Official sources only: we back legal statements with state laws and the responsible authorities and link them directly in the article.
- Honest, not sensational: no unprovable promises. Educational leave is paid time off for further education — not "paid holiday" and not "save on flights".
- Recognition is a state matter: whether a course is recognised is decided by the state authority. We say so wherever relevant and point to the binding check.
- Last reviewed: every guide article carries a "last reviewed on" date. When laws change, we update the article.
- Not legal advice: our content is general information. The state laws and the responsible authority are authoritative.
