Its qualification services are aimed in the first instance at employees responsible for supporting companies and insured individuals and within the general administrations of the accident insurance institutions.

The university of applied sciences of the DGUV in Bad Hersfeld is a private university of applied sciences with state recognition. For new entrants to vocations at the statutory accident insurance institutions, it offers courses of study leading to a bachelor's or master's degree or to a certificate.

At the Hennef site, the DGUV also conducts activities in the area of "social insurance" in close cooperation with the FH Bonn-Rhine-Sieg University of Applied Sciences. The courses of study in the subject encompass an externally funded course in social insurance, particularly accident insurance, leading to a bachelor's degree.
