AZAV

Training programmes that are funded by the Federal Agency can be offered via the accreditation. Authorisation is also relevant for tenders and voucher procedures. Furthermore, the AZAV authorisation is used in the area of the Qualification and Opportunities Act to provide internal company training.

The carrier licence is valid for a maximum of five years, while the measure licence is valid for three years.

As a rule, no on-site inspection is required for a measure authorisation. The customer submits all the documents and evidence required for the authorisation and the documents submitted are checked in the office. We will provide you with the documents for the preparation of the authorisation of measures, which you must supplement with your own evidence. Important: The federal average cost rates must be observed when determining the costs for the measure.

In general, the audit effort for a carrier approval is determined by the document IAF-MD-5 (Document DAkkS - German Accreditation Body).

The carrier approval begins with an application for approval. A document check is carried out to assess whether a quality assurance system in accordance with §178 No.4 SGB III is in place. This is followed by an audit, which takes place at the customer's premises. There, the infrastructure, the formal requirements of the organisation, the procedure and the necessary documents are checked. If this is successful, the organisation is approved. Annual repeat audits are scheduled, which are carried out on site after authorisation.

On the website of the Federal Employment Agency you will find information on authorisation, cost approval, advisory board and B-DKS as well as further useful background information and a short film on the authorisation procedure. Click on the link here.

The costs for the authorisation of measures depend on three factors:

1. Number and similarity of the measure
2. Number of departments
3. Compliance or non-compliance with the federal average cost approach

Approval of a measure is always necessary if the measure to be offered is settled via a placement or education voucher. However, it is not necessary for tendering procedures.
