Health courses

Use our extensive range of health courses for prevention

The simple formula for prevention is: stay active, relax, and maintain a healthy diet. Health courses, also known as prevention courses, such as yoga, nutrition programs, or smoking cessation courses make it even easier to take targeted action to improve your well-being. You can choose between in-person courses in a fixed group setting or flexible online health courses.

We reimburse 75% of the course fees up to a maximum of €80 twice per year. In addition, by successfully participating in a prevention course or health program, you can receive an extra €20 per year through our bonus program.

    What are health courses?

    Health courses help you actively improve your health and sustainably enhance your well-being. SBK supports you in this by offering a wide range of certified, quality-checked health courses.

    Whether you want to increase physical activity, improve your diet, or focus on relaxation: health courses are delivered by certified instructors and give you the opportunity to work specifically on your personal health goals.

    You decide how you want to take part in your health course—flexibly as an online health course or in person at fixed times. This allows the courses to fit seamlessly into your daily life and makes it easier for you to stay committed.

    How to find a health course?

    Find your suitable health course or prevention course in your area easily using our course search. Our database includes more than 135,000 certified health courses across Germany - from physical activity and exercise to nutrition, relaxation, and stress management.

  • To help you quickly find the right option, you can narrow your search by topics such as exercise, relaxation, or nutrition. This allows you to find suitable prevention courses that match your personal goals and daily routine.

  • Many offers are available directly in your region - there is likely also a suitable health course near you.

  • If you have any questions regarding dates, course content, or costs, please contact the course provider directly.

    Online health courses

    We also subsidize selected online offerings for optimal health prevention. Detailed information about these and the topics covered in online health courses can be found here here.

    Health courses for children

    It is especially important for children to learn health-conscious behavior from an early age. We particularly support this.

    Therefore, we cover 100% of the course fees for children up to the age of 18, up to 80 €.

    Children from the age of 6 can participate in health courses. Beyond that, the same conditions for subsidies apply as for adults. You can find health courses for children in the health course search by selecting "Children" or "Adolescents" under “Additional Search Criteria.”

    What costs does the SBK cover?

    We reimburse 75% of the course fees, up to €80, twice a year. For successful participation in a health course, you will receive an additional €20 per year through our SBK Bonus Scheme.

    Requirements for a subsidy

  • You must have attended at least 80% of the course hours.
  • For location-independent and time-independent online self-study courses, it is important that the course is fully completed.
  • Health courses always count for the year in which they were started.
  • If you participated in a health course as part of a health trip, this also counts towards the total number of two courses per year that are subsidized.
  • Courses that are included in the monthly fee of a sports club or similar cannot be subsidized.
  • How do I receive the reimbursement for a health course?

  • If you have found a suitable health course, please register directly with the respective course provider and book your chosen course.
  • You initially pay the course fee directly to the provider yourself.
  • After successfully completing the course, please take the form “Certificate of Participation – Health Course” with you and have it completed and confirmed by the course provider. You can download the form here: Participation Certificate Health Course (in German only)
  • To submit your reimbursement request, simply upload the completed form via the Meine SBK app. Alternatively, you can send your documents by post. You can find our address and a prepaid envelope here.
  • Once we have received and verified your certificate of participation, we will transfer the reimbursement amount directly to your bank account without delay.
  • Submit invoice
