Why these online career courses work for you
Finding a qualified job in Germany can be frustrating when no one explains the rules. Youâve worked hard for your qualifications â you shouldnât be underestimated or overlooked. The self-study courses help you reach your professional goals: earning more, working in an ambitious job in your field of education, and offering your family a secure future in Germany.
I created these online courses based on my experience as a recruiter and my insights into where applicants struggle most. In the self-study courses, I condensed the essential knowledge into a clear and substantial foundation that I believe every job seeker should have.
Have a look inside and get your questions answered
Self-study courses are the best choice if you want to save time, avoid costly mistakes, and stop doubting whether youâll ever reach your dream. If you want to know more details about the self-study format watch the video and read the FAQs.
Who are these career courses for?
The job-seeker training is primarily aimed at foreigners who have little knowledge of application rules in Germany. These online courses are ideal if you are an english-speaking job seeker with a Bachelor, Master or Doctoral degree in fields like IT, engineering, natural sciences, humanities or economics. Start with these courses if you are actively applying for a new job in Germany no matter if you are still living abroad or have already moved to Germany.
How soon can I start an online course module?
As soon as your payment is confirmed, you will receive an activation link by email within a few minutes. Once you activate the course, you can start learning immediately.
Important: Please make sure to activate the course within 48 hours after your purchase.
Can I ask questions or get personal feedback?
The self-study courses are designed as independent learning formats without personal consultations. This allows us to offer them at a much lower price.
If youâre looking for individual guidance â such as feedback on your CV, interview training, or salary advice â you should check out my Career Classes, which combines self-study with one-on-one support.
How long do I have access to a self-study course?
Once activated, you can access your self-study course for three months. During this period, you may pause, resume, and rewatch the videos as often as you like.
Important: After your purchase, you must activate the course within 48 hours. The activation link will be sent via email shortly after your payment is confirmed.
How can I deduct a self-study course from my taxes?
Self-study courses and all kind of costs to find an employment in Germany are tax-deductible. They fall under the category of “Werbungskosten” (income-related expenses). Make sure to collect and keep all receipts related to your job search (also if you are a foreigner not having an income here yet) for example, expenses for flights, visa applications, phone calls, relocation, and all my career counselling invoices. Once you have found a job in Germany, itâs worth learning more about the German tax declaration process to claim back these investments. To get an overview of the most common tax-deductible job search expenses, you can read these two helpful German articles. Use your browserâs translation function if needed:

You can also get affordable support from a so called âLohnsteuerhilfevereinâ (income tax assistance union), which is much cheaper than hiring a tax consultant.
Is there a return policy or money-back guarantee?
According to German law, there is no general right of return for digital self-study courses once they have been accessed. For this reason, we do not offer an automatic refund policy. Before you buy, check the course content and the self-study format in the Look-inside video.
However, if you are not satisfied with your course for any reason, please do not hesitate to contact me personally. I take your feedback seriously and will do my best to find a fair and practical solution.
