The Accreditation and Approval Regulation for Employment Promotion (AZAV) establishes the requirements for the approval of providers of employment promotion measures. As of January 1, 2013, all providers of such measures must possess an approval. This includes the initial assessment process and the vocational training sector of workshops for people with disabilities. The regulation requires service providers to have a quality assurance system in place. According to the regulation, this system is present when the quality is ensured and continuously improved through targeted and systematic procedures and measures. The AZAV sample manual provides an example of documentation for provider approval with a quality management system for the initial assessment process and the vocational training sector in workshops for people with disabilities. The manual is process-oriented and follows the individual.
