Your team learns to build AI tools, automate recurring tasks and analyse data. Colleagues develop projects with feedback from mentors to put those skills into practice.
Up to 100%
For companies with fewer than 50 employees, the Agentur für Arbeit can cover up to 100% of eligible training costs. See the rates and exceptions below for other companies.
Up to 75%
For companies with fewer than 50 employees, the Agentur für Arbeit can reimburse the employer for up to 75% of eligible wage costs during training. Lower standard rates apply to larger companies.
The Qualifizierungschancengesetz (QCG), or Qualification Opportunities Act, helps employees in Germany learn new skills as their work changes. Under §82 SGB III, the Agentur für Arbeit can fund eligible training costs and wage costs for time away from work to study. Team members stay employed and plan the training with their employer.
Your team already knows which tasks repeat and which decisions need better data. At Turing College, colleagues learn to turn that knowledge into AI applications they can build, test and assess together. Turing College provides the training, and the Agentur für Arbeit decides on funding.

Your team builds and reviews
This example shows how responsibilities can change. It does not promise a time saving. Your team still checks outputs, protects sensitive data and decides what to use.
Your team learns to describe a problem, write clear prompts and assess what AI produces. Colleagues practise a process they can use as tools and job requirements change.
Colleagues who understand AI can build and assess more of their own workflows. That knowledge can reduce reliance on external providers while helping the team recognise when specialist support is needed.
QCG can help cover programme fees and the employer’s wage costs for eligible training time. Use the funding table to discuss the subsidy and the employer’s contribution with management or HR.
Your team follows a clear learning plan and puts new skills into practice while staying employed. The programmes below are full time. Agree on study time and time away from work with the employer before starting.
A scenario lab, a manufacturing review tool and a client-intake app: these learner projects show how AI and data skills can be used for specific tasks at work.
Dragan Lagos, Avishek Chatterjee and Kai Wood explain what they built and learned on Turing College’s AI Engineering programme, including how project feedback helped them and what it took to deploy their own AI applications.
Training costs and wage costs receive separate subsidies. The standard rates depend on company size. The wage subsidy reimburses the employer for eligible time away from work to study. It is not an extra payment to employees, and it does not automatically cover their full salaries.
| Company size* | Subsidy for training costs | Subsidy for wage costs during training |
|---|---|---|
| 1 to 49 employees | up to 100% | up to 75% |
| 50 to 499 employees | up to 50% | up to 50% |
| 500+ employees | up to 25% | up to 25% |
In companies with fewer than 500 employees, employees aged 45 or over or with severe disabilities may qualify for up to 100% training-cost coverage.
A qualifying works agreement or collective agreement on further training can increase support by five percentage points. The Agentur für Arbeit determines which conditions apply.
* Company size can include associated companies and the wider corporate group. The Agentur für Arbeit checks the applicable employee count and approves the subsidy. Sources: Federal Employment Agency funding guidance and §82 SGB III. Funding rules checked on 12 October 2026.
QCG supports training for people who are already employed in jobs subject to social insurance contributions. QCG-funded Turing College programmes require an existing vocational qualification and do not replace initial vocational training. The Agentur für Arbeit reviews each employee’s qualifications, previous funding and proposed training. Team members plan the training with their employer. A provider’s AZAV approval alone does not guarantee funding.
The training lasts more than 120 hours.
Both the training provider and the course are approved for funding (AZAV).
The training goes beyond short, purely workplace-specific adaptation measures.
As a rule, the vocational qualification was completed at least two years ago. The law refers to qualifications with a prescribed training duration of at least two years.
The employee has not taken part in training funded under §82 SGB III in the two years before applying.
Before applying, discuss any accessibility support your team needs with us at study@turingcollege.com. We’ll confirm what support the programme can provide.
Training that an employer is legally required to provide is excluded. These are core requirements, not an individual eligibility decision. Sources: §82 SGB III and the agency’s guidance for employees.
Turing College can advise your employer before they apply, including how to explain the training need and prepare the funding application. Book a free consultation to discuss the team’s learning goals and study plan. The employer coordinates the application, and the Agentur für Arbeit decides on funding.
