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.

Connecting Language Schools with the German 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 and helps make eligible programmes accessible to German employees.

"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.

The 2026 award marks another milestone for Bildungsurlaub Approval. Following its first win in 2025, the company has now received the award for a second time.

"Our focus is on making it easier for international education providers to access 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.
