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
The costs for external training must be borne by the organizational unit in which the employee is employed. However, free participation is possible with some providers (see below).
If you would like to participate in an external training course, please register yourself for the respective course (exceptions see below: HüF, Mont-Cenis).
Continuing education courses are not requested via a business trip permit, but are organized via a confirmation letter. For this letter, please fill out the form below.
Please apply for the confirmation letter as early as possible, at the latest, however, one week before the start of the event, as additional time may be required for the examination of a funding violation if third-party funds are involved.
We will then prepare a confirmation letter for you, a copy of which will be sent directly to the travel cost center.
After the training, you can settle your travel expenses in the same way as for a business trip (please select "Fortbilduhngsreise" in the G/L account on the travel expense form). It is also possible to request an advance payment using the advance payment form.
