A Skillcation is a 3–5 day learning trip designed to help participants acquire a new skill in an inspiring environment. Theory is taught in advance through an online module, so that the experience on site can be dedicated entirely to hands-on practice, personal guidance, and downtime to enjoy the destination.

Bookings are made directly through our website. After completing your booking, you will immediately receive a confirmation and access to the corresponding e-learning module. We will send you all further details regarding preparation, arrival, and the schedule via email before the Skillcation.

No. Our Skillcations are designed so that both beginners and advanced learners benefit. The theoretical preparation via e-learning makes it easier to get started, and the on-site workshops are individually tailored to the respective level of the participants.

Accommodation is not included in the Skillcation and is deliberately booked separately. This preserves individual freedom regarding budget, comfort, and travel duration. After booking, however, we will provide a curated selection of recommended accommodations. These are conveniently located near the event venue, have good transport links, and have proven successful with previous participants.

In addition, we provide information on suitable neighborhoods and booking platforms to ensure an efficient and transparent accommodation search. Participants can also coordinate their accommodation with other participants if they wish.

Arrival and departure are your own responsibility and are not included in the Skillcation price. This allows you flexibility in choosing your mode of transport, departure times, and travel budget. After booking, you will receive all relevant information about the venue, including the exact address, recommended arrival times, and directions for getting there from the nearest airport or train station.

In addition, we share tried-and-tested options for public transport, transfers, and – where appropriate – carpooling with other participants. This ensures a smooth and predictable journey.

Our partners plan the workshops to ensure they can be conducted even under changeable conditions – either through weatherproof routes, flexible daily schedules, or alternative programs. Should a program item be impossible for safety reasons, the trainer will provide a suitable alternative.

The groups are deliberately kept small, usually between 6 and 10 people. This creates a personal atmosphere, enables intensive learning, and ensures that each participant can receive individual support.

Our skillcations are leisure activities with a fixed date. Therefore, according to § 312g para. 2 no. 9 of the German Civil Code (BGB), there is no statutory right of withdrawal. The cancellation policy in our terms and conditions applies.

Should you nevertheless be unable to attend, please contact us as soon as possible. We will examine possible solutions on a case-by-case basis, such as rescheduling or nominating a substitute participant.
