This textbook aims to provide readers with an overview of the legal framework of continuing education. The focus is on the question of which specific areas of the continuing education sector the state intervenes in through legislation and to what extent it exerts regulatory and shaping influence. The presentation of continuing education law in its various legal forms and levels of objectives is the centerpiece of this first comprehensive introduction to the topic: always closely aligned with the legal texts, which are explained in their essential fundamentals and particularly in their application.
