Training allowance is a benefit for securing a livelihood and is only provided by the Federal Employment Agency (Bundesagentur für Arbeit - BA) for disabled persons. If you are not entitled to transitional allowance (Übergangsgeld), you could be entitled to training allowance.

Disabled persons are entitled to vocational training assistance when participating in general vocational training measures. Your guidance counsellor can tell you if you are entitled to vocational training assistance (BAB) or training allowance (Ausbildungsgeld) during vocational training, the participation in a work preparation scheme, basic training or other measures leading to the participation in working life. Please inform yourself in time at the Employment Agency.

Transitional allowance is a compensation for reduced income within the framework of promotion of vocational integration of disabled persons in working life. If you are participating in an education measure within the framework of promotion of vocational integration of disabled persons in working life, you are under certain circumstances entitled to transitional allowance as compensation for reduced income. Your counsellor will evaluate whether the requirements are met in your specific case.
