2. Educational leave for Somatics

Bildungszeit, Bildungsurlaub or Bildungsfreistellung are terms that express a legal entitlement to time off work to participate in recognized continuing education events. This leave makes it possible to participate during working hours while continuing to receive remuneration.

Education is a matter for the federal states, which is why the entitlement to educational leave is regulated differently. Different workshops, as well as training and further education courses at the Somatic Academy Berlin are recognized for employees in Berlin.

Full-time employees in Berlin have the opportunity to take 5 days of training time per year. The entitlement to training time in one year can also be combined with the entitlement in the following year, resulting in a total of 10 days of training time. Please click here for more information.

The following workshops and trainigs are regognized for employees in Berlin as educational leave:
