What is Educational Leave?

Educational Leave, also known as Educational Time, is a legal entitlement allowing employees in Germany to take paid leave specifically for further education. However, each federal state regulates and handles the right to educational leave differently. You can only book further training for your educational leave officially recognised by your federal state. At International House Dublin, we offer language courses that qualify for Educational Leave.
