We subsidise all the health courses found using our German health course search function, the "Gesundheitskurssuche". To be specific, we cover 80 per cent of the course fees (up to a maximum of 75 EUR for individual courses and 150 EUR for combined courses). We reimburse 100 per cent of the cost of online courses that started on or after 1 July 2020 up to a maximum of 100 EUR. We refund the full amount for TK courses, which you can also find using our health course search function.
New regulation for courses starting from 15 October 2024: we cover 80 per cent of the course fees for online and face-to-face courses (up to a maximum of 150 EUR for individual courses and 300 EUR for combined courses).

Conditions for cost subsidies
- The courses must have a fixed start and end date and be attended by a fixed group of participants. Unfortunately, we are unable to subsidise courses that last indefinitely.
- The quality of the health courses must have been certified by the Zentrale Prüfstelle Prävention [Central Test Centre for Preventive Health Courses] and the three-year certification period must not have expired.
