Right to Training
If your company employs 20 or more workers, your employees are entitled to five training days per year.
Employers who employ at least 10 but fewer than 20 workers must provide on average one training day per year per full-time worker.
Do you employ fewer than 10 workers? Then you are not required to grant an individual right to training, unless your sector has decided otherwise. Therefore, always check your sector.
Which Trainings
The trainings may be formal or informal, as long as they are directly related to the work. Training on well-being can also be counted.
Our tip: Have you not yet used all your training days? Take a look at the training calendar and book your trainings now for the end of 2026.

Do I still have to register the trainings?
The Federal Learning Account was abolished on 1 January 2026.
Therefore, there is currently no legal obligation to register employees' trainings.
However, be aware that some sectors have made agreements on this matter.
Moreover, your employee can still request the status of their training credit within the framework of their individual right to training, so they can check how many training days are still available.
FLA becomes ILA
Do you want to keep data from the Federal Learning Account? Then download or transfer it by the end of 2026 at the latest. From 1 January 2027, the data will be deleted. Users will be informed about this in advance by the government.

The Individual Learning Account (ILA) will be a secured digital application where individuals can access and manage their own training data. The application is developed and managed by Sigedis and allows electronic exchange of training data between the federal government, regions, and communities. This way, competent services for employment mediation, vocational training, and education can better inform and guide individuals about training and lifelong learning.

Think about your training plan
