What OTL flexibility means exactly for our customers

Start whenever you want

  • If you have decided to train at OTL and have completed the purchase, it is completely up to you when you start the training. Your training period does not start until you officially enroll. Buy today and start later? No problem, thanks to OTL flexibility!

Pause your education

  • The contents of the training are generously available to you for at least 6 months. During this time you can allow yourself smaller learning breaks. If you suddenly have no time and see your training goal at risk, our support will pause your enrollment flexibly and as a gesture of goodwill.

No travel needed: exam at home

  • All exams are conducted 100% online. This means no travel, no on-site appointments – you can take your final exam flexibly from home.

Learn where you want

  • In distance learning, you enjoy the benefits of location independence. Online Trainer License extends this flexibility with state-of-the-art learning methods and enables you to learn conveniently from anywhere with the help of audiobooks and a campus app. With the OTL Campus app, you can even make scripts and videos available offline!

Determine your learning speed

  • Depending on how much time you have per day for learning, you can work through the training in a few weeks or relaxed in 6 months. Here you write your own timetable and thus remain flexible in the stressful everyday life!
