Depending on your situation in Austria, you may be able to combine flexible tuition solutions with public support (for example, AMS training benefits, employer-supported upskilling, or regional programmes like Vienna’s waff).
Eligibility and approvals vary by programme and personal circumstances. If you’d like help mapping realistic next steps, book a call with our team.
Austria-focused funding guidance
Explore Funding Options in Austria
AMS: Training Support for Jobseekers
If you’re unemployed or registered with the AMS, you may be eligible for support during approved training — including help with course costs and course-related expenses (subject to eligibility and AMS approval).
AMS: Qualifizierungsförderung for Employed Learners
If you’re employed, your employer may be able to apply for AMS support for job-relevant training that helps close skills gaps (subject to programme rules and approval).
Vienna: waff Bildungskonto
If you live in Vienna, the waff may co-fund job-related training through the Bildungskonto. There are different variants depending on your circumstances, and caps/conditions apply.
Regional Funding by Federal State (Bundesland)
Beyond national programmes, many Austrian federal states offer additional education support. A practical starting point is searching by region on the Transparenzportal (the Austrian funding portal).
Weiterbildungszeit / Weiterbildungsteilzeit (Successor to Bildungskarenz)
Austria’s previous Bildungskarenz/Bildungsteilzeit funding ended in 2025. A successor model (Weiterbildungszeit/Weiterbildungsteilzeit) is planned from 2026 via AMS, with stricter eligibility criteria and a capped annual budget. Check AMS for the latest timeline and rules.
Tax Relief: Deduct Eligible Training Costs
Depending on your situation, education and training expenses in Austria can be deductible as employment-related expenses (Werbungskosten), which can reduce your effective cost over the year.
Employer Sponsorship & Training Budgets
Many organisations in Austria support professional development through training budgets or sponsorship — especially for digital, data, and security skills. It’s worth checking what your employer can support.
