Participation in external continuing education
Paderborn University employees can participate in courses and events held by external continuing education providers. Some providers have co-operation agreements with the university, thereby enabling free participation.
Organisational information
- Registration, secondment and funding
-
The costs for external continuing education must be borne by the organisational unit in which the staff member is employed. However, free participation is possible with some providers (see below).
If you would like to participate in an external continuing education or training course, please register yourself for your desired course (exceptions see below: HüF, Mont-Cenis).
Continuing education and training courses are not accounted for as a business trip, rather are organised via a secondment. For your secondment, please send the provider’s booking confirmation by e-mail to Training. We’ll then create a secondment for you, a copy of which will be sent directly to the Travel Expenses Office. You will need to submit a claim for your travel expenses after the continuing education or training course in the same way as for a business trip (please select the G/L account option “Fortbildungsreise/ Travel for continuing education and training” on the travel expenses claim form).
