How do I finance my continuing education, further training and retirement provision?

Employers are often willing to co-finance continuing education, further training for their employees if it is of benefit to them. This means that continuing education, further training should be an asset to your current or future job so that your employer sees a point in financing the course. However, if your employer is willing to cover some or all of the course costs, they will usually require you to commit to not changing jobs for a number of years in return. Otherwise, you will have to reimburse part of the costs. However, you should always discuss this in detail with your line manager.

Some schools also allow you to pay for your continuing education, further training in installments, which is particularly suitable for prospective students who cannot afford to pay the entire cost at once. In this case, however, please always pay close attention to how high the surcharge is that you will be charged in total, as you will usually incur additional costs if you pay in installments. Clarify this in advance.
