Distance learning courses Admission of substantial changes

If there are significant changes in a distance learning course which is not exclusively for leisure and entertainment, these must be approved by the competent authority.

Significant changes exist if the contents, duration or objectives of the course have changed beyond the usual course maintenance, e.g. due to changes in the relevant legal standards.

The responsibility lies with the State Central Office for Distance Education (ZFU).

This procedure can also be carried out through a "Point of Single Contact". The "Point of Single Contact" is a special service offered by municipalities and the state for service providers.

No documents are required.

The competent authority makes applications and forms available for download on its website.

There are fees according to the General Administrative Fee Regulations (AVerwGebO NRW).
