Distance learning courses Approval of significant changes

Significant changes to a distance learning course must be approved by the State Central Agency for Distance Learning (ZFU). n.

Distance learning courses teach the subject matter exclusively or predominantly in physical separation between teachers and learners on a contractual basis for a fee, whereby the learning success is monitored.

Distance learning therefore takes place on a very individual basis and with free time management.

Significant changes to a distance learning course must be approved by the State Central Agency for Distance Learning (ZFU).

Significant changes exist if the content, duration or objectives of the course have changed beyond the usual course maintenance, for example a change in the relevant legal standards.
