What is KURSNET from the Jobcenter?

KURSNET is a training portal that allows you to search for specific further education courses throughout Germany. With its features and comprehensive database, KURSNET makes searching for training significantly easier and more structured. KURSNET is operated by the Employment Agency and serves as a central point of contact for job seekers, professionals, and Jobcenter clients.

Note
Since 2024, mein NOW has replaced the former KURSNET portal of the Federal Employment Agency. It also provided extensive information on further education as well as suitable funding opportunities and guidance.

How is KURSNET related to the education voucher?

You can find training courses that are usually eligible for an education voucher via the Federal Employment Agency's KURSNET portal.

Although the Employment Agency's KURSNET portal shows you thousands of retraining and further education opportunities, you must apply for funding separately through the Jobcenter.

Often, many questions remain unanswered in this context:

Is the training really fully paid for?
Who is eligible for an education voucher?
Do I have to be unemployed?

If you receive an education voucher for your KURSNET training, your further education can be funded by up to 100%.

What is KURSNET?

‍

KURSNET is the official training portal of the Federal Employment Agency. Through the job center's KURSNET, you can find training opportunities across Germany that suit your professional situation. This includes further education, retraining, and qualification programs in many different fields. The KURSNET portal serves as a central search tool, allowing you to compare offers and discover suitable programs more quickly. Especially if you are looking to reposition yourself professionally, the Employment Agency's KURSNET helps you get an initial overview and find concrete options directly online.

Do I have to be unemployed?

‍

No, you do not necessarily have to be unemployed. Even if you are at risk of unemployment—for example, due to a layoff or a fixed-term contract—you may still be eligible to apply for a training voucher.

 

In certain cases, employed individuals can also receive a training voucher if further education is necessary to secure their job. The employment agency will assess your individual situation.

‍

How do I find the right courses in KURSNET?

‍

To quickly find the right offers in the KURSNET portal, it is best to use filters such as occupational field, location, start date, or format. This allows you to specifically find KURSNET courses that fit your daily routine and your goals. Since there is often a wide selection, it is worth taking a closer look at the content, duration, and requirements. We are here to help you evaluate the results from your KURSNET search so you can choose a training program that realistically improves your job prospects.

Is every KURSNET training program eligible for funding?

‍

Not every course you find on the Federal Employment Agency's KURSNET platform is automatically eligible for funding. Whether a KURSNET training program can be financially supported depends on several factors. Key considerations include your personal situation, your career goals, and the assessment of your advisor at the employment agency or job center. The program itself also plays a role, for instance, whether it is AZAV-certified.

How does KURSNET work with the job center?

‍

You can select your course through the portal, and then discuss funding with your contact person at the job center. If you meet the requirements, you can use an education voucher to cover the costs of your further training. Together with KURSNET, the employment agency, and available funding can help you take your career in a new direction and find a suitable job more quickly.

Do I have to apply for everything on my own?

‍

No, because we support you in selecting the right training program on the KURSNET portal and preparing your next steps. This includes helping you better understand which points are important when speaking with the employment agency or the job center. You will gain more confidence in the process and start with a clear plan instead of uncertainty.
