Education voucher holders confirm to have access to a separate work area/room in their home. In individual cases, after consultation and agreement of CodeZwei, participants may join from a CodeZwei location. The project days preferably take place at a Codezwei Campus, usually at the CodeZwei Campus Munich. Upon mutual agreement, a remote participation at the project days from home is possible, especially if due to possible restrictions by Covid-19.

2.2 Qualification Process

For each qualification, the detailed content, qualification goals and knowledge required at the beginning of the qualification (provided through a primer) are defined. CodeZwei reserves the right – in alignment with public funding agencies – to make changes to the training schedule, in particular if this appears necessary for the purpose of technical updating.Participants receive a list of all training days at the beginning of the qualification.

Immediately after funding has been approved, relevant proof must be presented to the responsible Codezwei employee. The participant is liable for the tuition in case he does not fulfil these obligations.

In case a public funding agency denies funding according to SGB III or SGB II after a qualification contract has been concluded, the public education voucher holders shall be granted the right to withdraw from the contract immediately upon becoming aware of this fact.

The statutory right of all clients to extraordinary termination remains unaffected in any case.

4.3 Withdrawal and Termination by CodeZwei

In cases of force majeure (e.g. natural disasters,fires, accidents, terrorist events) or if the minimum number of participants is not reached, CodeZwei is also entitled to cancel the qualification completely.Any claims of participants above the statutory claims from the statutory restitution obligation are excluded.
CodeZwei may terminate the qualification contract for good cause without notice if facts exist which make it unreasonable for CodeZwei to continue the contractual relationship until expiry of the period of notice or until the agreed termination or end of the contractual relationship.

Facts which may in themselves constitute such an important reason include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • incorrect personal data
  • repeated lack of willingness to perform     or cooperate in trainings
  • repeated absence from training without     reason
  • gross violations of the general terms and     conditions or the applicable house rules on a CodeZwei CAMPUS
  • significant overdue of payments
  • gross misconduct of the participant     towards other participants, trainers and/or CodeZwei employees
  • repeated disregard of trainer     instructions
       
       

Before a termination due to an important reason is pronounced, CodeZwei issues a written warning. However, a warning is obsolete if the participant knew or should have known that his misconduct would not be tolerated by CodeZwei.

5. Obligations to Cooperate

5.1 Attendance and Absence

All participants are obliged to participate actively and in a committed manner during the qualification. Attendance of the participants is recorded electronically. In any case, absence must be reported immediately to the responsible CodeZwei employee or trainer.

The certificate must be received by the responsible CodeZwei employee or trainer latest by the 3rd business day. If absence lasts longer than stated in the certificate, public education voucher holders are obliged to submit a new doctor’s certificate.
CodeZwei is generally obliged to inform any funding third party (e.g. employers of participants, deferred payment / income share agreement providers, public funding agencies) of attendances and absences of a funded participant, in particular if repeated absence endangers the achievement of the qualification objective.

5.2 Graduate Successes

It is of significant interest to CodeZwei that participants successfully take up employment after completion of the qualification. In order to track success rates, every graduate is asked to notify CodeZwei immediately upon starting a new employment. CodeZwei handles this information confidentially and uses it only for statistical success control. Public education voucher holders are required by law to inform CodeZwei upon starting a new employment. CodeZwei will forward this information to the public funding agency.
