While freight forwarding courses cover topics in depth for one-off training, briefings serve to regularly inform employees and are therefore rather short. Freight forwarding courses are suitable for personnel who want to familiarize themselves with a new topic (e.g., acquisition).

The Federal Employment Agency provides funding for various measures to different groups of people. What is funded? Who is eligible for funding? Funding programs are offered for: general continuing education, job seekers, education premium, continuing education for the unemployed, the unemployed and job seekers, employees who can avert impending dismissal through further training, education vouchers, continuing education for specific groups such as low-skilled or older employees and the unemployed according to WeGebAU.

In principle, you must be able to answer one of the following questions with "yes" for the employment agency to approve an education voucher: Are you unemployed? Are you looking for work? Are you at risk of unemployment? Do you need the training for your professional integration? Do you need the training to secure your job? You can obtain further information from your contact person at the Federal Employment Agency.

The WeGebAU funding program allows employers to receive subsidies for professional development. Eligible for funding are employees in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with fewer than 250 employees who are released from work by their employers for the duration of the training; employees without a vocational qualification; or employees with a vocational qualification who have been working in a semi-skilled or unskilled job for at least four years and are no longer able to practice their learned profession; individuals under 45 years of age can receive 50% funding, and those 45 and older can receive 75%. Requirements: The funding must be approved. The training institution must be accredited according to AZAV (Accreditation and Approval Regulation for Employment Promotion). SPEDIFORT meets both requirements. Training courses can be funded if they are conducted within the framework of an existing employment relationship with continued payment of wages. The courses impart skills that are in demand on the labor market.
