  • You are entitled to unemployment benefit if the following conditions are met: you must be unemployed, you must have completed the qualifying period and you must have personally registered as unemployed. According to the Third Book of the Social Code (SGB III), a distinction is made between two types of reporting to the Employment Agency: 1. Job seeker report: The job seeker report is required so that the Employment Agency can support you in looking for a new job. There is a legal obligation to register as a jobseeker no later than three months before the end of an employment or external training relationship. It must be done personally at an employment agency. If there are less than three months between knowing the time of termination and the termination of the employment and training relationship, the report must be made within three days of knowing the time of termination. So that you do not miss the deadlines, you can also register as a jobseeker online or by telephone on 0 800 4 5555 00. However, the prerequisite for the effectiveness of the telephone or online jobseeker registration is that you make up the personal jobseeker registration at the employment agency by appointment. This saves you additional or unnecessary journeys and waiting times. Even if the employer promises continued employment or the continuation of the employment or training relationship is asserted in court, there is an obligation to report. Please note that a blocking period of one week can occur if you do not register as a jobseeker at an employment agency as described above. 2. Unemployment registration: The unemployment registration serves to secure your financial entitlements. It is an indispensable prerequisite for receiving unemployment benefits and must be done in person at the employment agency responsible for your place of residence at the latest on the first day of unemployment (no earlier than three months in advance).
  • The Teachers' Examination Office is responsible for conducting the first and second state examinations for all teaching posts.

    With the introduction of the Bachelor / Master degree programs for all teacher training students at the University of Hamburg, the old degree programs that lead to a first state examination expired at the end of the 2013/14 winter semester. That is why the teacher examinations office with its work area First State Examinations at the Mümmelmannsberg location was closed on August 1, 2015. After the first state examinations have expired, the teachers' examination office is only responsible for the second state examinations.

    For the not yet completed first state examinations, which are carried out on the basis of the ordinance on the first state examination for teaching posts at Hamburg schools of May 18, 1982, the teacher examination office still has a working structure at the location Bogenallee 11, 20144 Hamburg, available for a limited period of time . All inquiries about the First State Examination should be sent to this department by August 1, 2015.

  • Students receive funding in the form of a grant (50%) from the start of the training, but not for periods prior to application if there is a proven need. and an interest-free government loan (50%).

    The grant does not have to be repaid. The interest-free government loan is later repaid in low instalments, but no one, no matter how much support was in total, has to repay more than 10,000 euros of government loans.

    In the case of need, the amount of support depends on the income and assets of the student and - since the support is generally family-dependent - on the income of the parents and the spouse or registered partner. Insofar as allowances laid down in the law are exceeded, this shall be counted against the respective requirement rate and shall reduce the amount of the subsidy accordingly.

    Support is provided for subsistence and training (the so-called need). The BAföG provides for lump sums as a monthly requirement, the amount of which also depends, among other things, on accommodation (with parents or living abroad). A childcare supplement may be granted for trainees with children under the age of ten.

    An exact statement as to whether funding is to be expected under the BAföG and, if necessary, how much can only be made after a careful examination of all individual requirements by the competent authority.

    In the event of a delay in the commencement or implementation of studies and the change of courses, it is essential to consult the competent body.

    Training at vocational academies cannot be promoted in Lower Saxony.

    The Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) provides further comprehensive information on the BAföG on its website, in particular on the eligibility requirements, the forms to be completed in the context of the application and the relevant Make.
