Hands signing and reviewing paperwork

Modules

  • 1. Why status conversations start Triggers that bring a social security employment check into view and how consultations are usually framed.
  • 2. Indicators without shortcuts Control, integration, entrepreneurial risk, and how to describe them without leaping to a verdict.

FAQ

Does this course decide my employment status?

No. It prepares you to discuss status indicators and documents. Formal conclusions sit outside our educational remit.

Is the material only for freelancers?

No. Modules also cover employed roles with side projects and hybrid arrangements that appear during consultations in Germany.

What is a real limitation of this course?

We cannot recreate the full fact-finding power of a live advisory file review. If your contracts conflict or third parties disagree about control, you will still need a qualified professional — the course will not close that gap.

How long should I plan to spend?

Most learners finish in three to four weeks at a steady pace, including worksheet time.
