Frequently Asked Questions
We know that applying for your training permit can raise some questions. In this section, we explain everything you need to know about the Bildungsurlaub (training permit), its professional benefits, and how Canarias Cultural handles the requirements so you can focus solely on learning.
What is Bildungsurlaub?
Bildungsurlaub can be translated as “training leave.” It is a legal right in Germany that allows employees to take up to five working days per year (or ten if accumulated over two years ) to attend officially recognized training courses, without loss of pay.
The aim is to facilitate access to continuing education and improve both the professional and personal skills of workers.
Who is eligible for the Bildungsurlaub?
This right is available to all working people (employees and even, in some cases, civil servants) who work in a German federal state where the Bildungsurlaub law is in force.
Each federal state (Bundesland) has its own requirements. Generally, you need to have been employed by the company for at least six months before applying.
How does it promote professional and personal development?
Bildungsurlaub fosters both professional growth and personal development. Courses typically focus on improving critical thinking, problem-solving, and intercultural communication.
This right promotes continuous learning and motivation, which has a positive impact on the work environment and the employee’s well-being.
What requirements are necessary for Spanish courses to be recognized as Bildungsurlaub?
For a Spanish course abroad to be accepted as a Bildungsurlaub, it must meet certain criteria:
– Minimum in-person hours per week:
The course must include at least 30 hours of in-person training per week. Tourist activities and self-employment are not permitted within this timeframe.
– Accredited schools and official certificates
Schools must be officially accredited and recognized. At the end of the course, a certificate of attendance and completion must be issued, indicating the number of hours, the level, and the content covered.
– Approval by the authorities of the federal state
Each course must be approved by the corresponding Bundesland (state ). At Canarias Cultural, we take care of preparing and sending all the necessary documentation for the course to be officially recognized.

DankeschönPublicado en Google laura bronswijkTrustindex verifica que la fuente original de la reseña sea Google. What a wonderful place to learn Spanish! Samuel explained everything with immense patience every day. You can really tell he loves the language, and that's incredibly motivating. No question was too much, and he always took the time to make sure you truly understood. And of course, José, who welcomed me with a big smile every day. I not only learned a lot here, but also felt truly welcome. Absolutely recommended! ¡Gracias por todo!Publicado en Google MarieTrustindex verifica que la fuente original de la reseña sea Google. I attended this language school for two weeks and it was great! The boss Jose is very welcoming and friendly. My teacher Michelle was also very nice and supportive and I learnt a lot in this two weeks there! Therefore I can greatly recommend this school and I would totally choose it again if I am in Santa Cruz for the next time!Publicado en Google Manuel MuellerTrustindex verifica que la fuente original de la reseña sea Google. Really great school, lovely people, I had a great time here!Publicado en Google 새미Trustindex verifica que la fuente original de la reseña sea Google. Super tolle Sprachschule! Ich habe sie 10 Monate lang besucht und kann wirklich nur von ihr schwärmen. Von Anfang an wird man super herzlich aufgenommen und man fühlt sich immer wie viel mehr, als nur ein bezahlender Kunde. Die Schule ist eben eher klein und hat eine sehr gemütliche, fast schon familiäre Atmosphäre. Jeden Tag habe ich mich hier sehr gefreut zur Tür hereinzukommen und alle wiederzusehen. Hier erfährt man wirkliche spanische Herzlichkeit. Die Lehrer sind sehr professionell und bringen einem gut etwas bei, wobei sie sich auch ohne Probleme an das Niveau der Schüler anpassen, sodass man weder gestresst, noch unterfordert sein muss. Das schöne hier ist aber auch, dass man neben dem Lernen auch stundenlang mit den Lehrern über alles andere in der Welt reden könnte, weil sie einfach so offen und sympathisch sind. Zudem lernt man auch sehr viel über die kanarische Kultur, insbesondere natürlich der von Teneriffa. Insgesamt habe ich von hier auf allen Ebenen sehr viel mitgenommen und kann nur von ganzem Herzen Dankeschön sagen!! Dicke Empfehlung!Publicado en Google Sabine ErbanTrustindex verifica que la fuente original de la reseña sea Google. Yo tenia 2 horas a dos días ( en total 4 horas) clases individuales. Perfecto. La profesora Michelle es muy amable y tenia mucha paciencia.. Yo aprendio mucho.Publicado en Google I UrbanTrustindex verifica que la fuente original de la reseña sea Google. There weren't enough other people at my level for me to be in a class, so I was set up for private lessons. Because of varied scheduling needs I had one main instructor for the two weeks and two that filled in on different days. All of the instructors were patient, friendly, approachable and willing to give extensive answers to my many, many questions. I would definitely return given the chance.Publicado en Google Julia STrustindex verifica que la fuente original de la reseña sea Google. Ich war von September 2023 bis Juni 2024 in Canarias Cultural (habe ein Au Pair in einer spanischen Familie gemacht) und kann die Sprachschule wärmstens empfehlen. Sie ist super gelegen und gut zu erreichen. Der Direktor José hat mich von Anfang an mit offenen Armen empfangen und mir auch in Bezug auf Santa Cruz super viele Tipps gegeben, wie man die Guagua nutzt etc. Und hat von Anfang an auch immer mein damals noch eher schwaches Spanisch korrigiert, wenn er mal einen Fehler gehört hat, find ich super 👍🏼 Alle drei Professoren, die ich in den Monaten hatte (Michelle, Dani, Samuel), waren super nett und haben mir viel beigebracht. Es war auch eher ein freundschaftliches familiäres Verhältnis anstatt das typische klassische distanzierte Verhältnis. Von Grammatik bis hin zu Sprichwörten, informale Sprache usw. haben wir alles gelernt. Die Schule ist außerdem immer auf persönliche Abwesenheiten eingegangen und war sehr flexibel. Es war eine wunderbare Zeit und ich komme gerne mal wieder zu Besuch!! Gracias por todo 🫶🏼
