BHAK Wien 10

What BHAK Wien 10 does

BHAK und BHAS Wien 10 (Bundeshandelsakademie und Bundeshandelsschule Wien 10) is a federal public commercial education institution located at Pernerstorfergasse 77 in Vienna's 10th district (Favoriten), Austria, operating under the Austrian Bundesministerium für Bildung, Wissenschaft und Forschung. The school serves a diverse learner population across seven core programs: HAK4you (5-year commercial academy), HAKdigBiz (5-year digital business academy), HAS (3-year commercial school), HAS Sport (4-year commercial school for competitive athletes), AUL (3-year advanced program for HAS graduates seeking Matura), Abendschule (8-semester evening school for working adults), and Business-Kolleg (4-semester daytime college). Its service scope therefore spans secondary-age students, adult learners, career changers, and high-performance athletes. The school's core deliverable is credentialed commercial education preparing graduates for either immediate workforce entry or further university study.

The institution supports these academic programs through an integrated portfolio of practical and support services, including an Übungsfirma (practice firm) that holds a 2026 quality-audit certification, a Lernzentrum (learning center), a Peer-Tutoring program, a Helfer-Netzwerk (helper network), a Bienengarten (bee garden and wild-bee hotel used for sustainability education), and structured partnerships with regional employers and institutions (LKW Walter, VELLO GmbH, Heindl, ORF, Peter Weber Kartonagen, Österreichische Nationalbibliothek, Demokratiewerkstatt, Arbeiterkammer Wien, Wirtschaftsagentur Wien, Universität Wien, WU Wien, and Erasmus+ international exchanges). Its technology stack is built on standard educational platforms: Microsoft Teams for collaboration, WebUntis for scheduling and consultation-hour management, SharePoint-based intranets for staff and students, and a dedicated educational portal at edu.bhakwien10.at. The school operates a single main campus plus an outdoor learning site in Waldmüllerpark.

As a publicly funded institution, BHAK Wien 10 does not charge tuition for standard programs and has no commercial revenue model, no funding rounds, no parent company, and no publicly disclosed financial figures. Recognition during 2026 included being named among the TOP 3 educational institutions in Austria by the Innovationsstiftung Bildung, achieving overall victory at the Vienna Trainee Challenge (VTC) with 12 state-level top placements, a 1st place (ex aequo) at the Bundessprachenwettbewerb für Russisch, a 3rd place at the DigBiz-Award 2026, and a successful Übungsfirma quality audit — signaling strong academic outcomes and competition performance rather than financial scale.
