Free · No registration · Four short questions
The plan helps you prepare. It is not a funding approval.How your plan is put together
Example: You already have an AVGS and want to plan your finances. Your plan highlights voucher conditions, prices, costs and financial assumptions. It does not predict whether a particular programme will be approved.
Four answers shape your preparation and conversation topics, not your chances of funding. If you already have a voucher, its requirements take priority; your employment situation and support needs add context. Agentur für Arbeit or Jobcenter decides on each case. Funded coaching starts only after written approval.

Your questions about this topic
Does this result mean my AVGS is approved?
No. The plan helps you prepare with tasks and questions. The responsible Agentur für Arbeit or Jobcenter decides on funding. A first conversation with us is optional.
Are my answers saved?

Do I need to have a voucher already?
No. You can use the plan without a voucher and without contacting us. If you have a voucher or are unsure about it, the plan suggests relevant steps to clarify things.
