Bildungsurlaub Programme

Learn English Abroad

 

Bildungsurlaub at EC English

Would you like to improve your English abroad? Then Bildungsurlaub is perfect for you. The best way to learn a language is to be somewhere you are surrounded by it 24/7! Bildungsurlaub allows workers in Germany to use a certain number of days per calendar year for individual further training. 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. The minimum legal requirements for educational leave vary from state to state, so please get in touch with us for more information.

Here at EC we make it a point to encourage all our students to pursue their goals and maximise their learning potential, helping them be the very best they can be. That’s why we are proud to have German educational leave recognised at many of our centres worldwide, offering a combination of professional language tuition as well as a choice of excursions and activities across some of the most exciting locations across the globe.

Why a language trip a great investment

If you're a professional looking to increase your range of skills and abilities, there are many reasons why using your educational leave for a language course is worth it.

Language Skills

Foreign language skills are becoming increasingly important for employees, particularly those who work in multi-national environments. Nowadays, people must use English for many purposes, such as writing reports and presentations.

International Network

Travelling abroad to study English also means meeting professionals from all over the world who have similar goals to your own and work across various international companies and industries—it’s a fantastic way to make useful contacts.

Full Language Immersion

One of the best ways to learn a new language is through an immersion programme. For example, studying English in an English-speaking country means you get to practise your language skills outside with native speakers in real-life contexts.

New Memories

Apart from the educational and professional benefits of studying English abroad, you’ll experience a different way of life outside your country and meet many people from other nationalities, backgrounds and cultures.

Destinations you will love

Learn English and make new friends in one of EC’s incredible cities.
