Distance vocational training courses must be consistent with the objectives of vocational education and training under the Vocational Training Act (BBiG) or other vocational education and training legislation in terms of content, duration or objective and how they are implemented. Both the technical side and the didactic access are examined. In addition, advertising and information, agency activities and the drafting of contracts must meet the requirements of the Distance Learning Protection Act (FernUSG).
Approved distance learning courses receive an approval seal with an approval number. The organizers must list this approval number in the information material as a verifiable indication of the state approval granted.
