September, 2026 – Bildungsurlaub Approval has been recognised with the ST Star Service Provider Award for the second time. The award was presented on September 5, 2026, in London as part of the international StudyTravel Star Awards.The company had already won the award in 2025 and was nominated for the ST Star Service Provider category for the seventh consecutive year in 2026.
The award ceremony took place during the ST Alphe UK Conference 2026, bringing together professionals from the international study travel and language travel industry.
The StudyTravel Star Awards are partner-voted awards, with industry partners voting for participating organisations and providers. Finalists are selected following a one-month voting period based on the votes received.
Connecting Language Schools with the German Educational Leave Market
Bildungsurlaub Approval specialises in connecting international language schools and education providers with the German educational leave market.
Through Bildungsurlaub-Approval.com, the company supports language schools and other education providers in having their courses recognised for educational leave in Germany.
This enables international providers to make their programmes available to a growing group of German employees looking to combine professional development with language learning and international experience.
Depending on the regulations of their German federal state, employees can use educational leave for recognised professional training, including language courses abroad.
“We are particularly proud of being nominated for the seventh consecutive year and now winning the ST Star Service Provider Award for the second time. Being recognised by our international industry is a very special acknowledgement of our work,” says Thomas Roth, Founder and Managing Director of Bildungsurlaub Approval.
Seven Consecutive Nominations, Two Awards
The 2026 award marks another milestone for Bildungsurlaub Approval. The company has now been nominated for the ST Star Service Provider Award seven years in a row.
Following its first win in 2025, the company has received the award for a second time in 2026.
The continued recognition reflects the company's work with international language schools and education providers and its role in helping providers access the German educational leave market.
“Our focus is on making it easier for international education providers to reach the German market and for German employees to discover suitable recognised programmes. We see significant potential for further international growth,” says Thomas Roth, Founder and Managing Director of Bildungsurlaub Approval.
A Growing Market for International Education Providers
Educational leave can represent an additional market opportunity for language schools and education providers offering recognised professional development programmes.
For international language schools, the German market is particularly relevant because employees in Germany can, depending on their federal state's legislation, use educational leave for recognised training programmes.
Bildungsurlaub Approval helps providers navigate the recognition process and connect their programmes with potential participants in Germany.
The company plans to continue expanding its network of international education providers and strengthening the connection between the German educational leave market and language schools worldwide.
