With our state-subsidized German courses in the special module “Healthcare professions - Physiotherapy”, you can prepare professionally and effectively for the Fachsprachenprüfung (FSP) in physiotherapy required for your professional recognition. If you would like to have your completed training as a physiotherapist or physiotherapist recognized in Germany or if you are currently training as a physiotherapist abroad and would like to work in Germany afterwards, then this course is just right for you.

This FSP preparation course takes place as face-to-face instruction on site.

You can find more information about this FSP preparation course as an online language course via video conference (virtual classroom) here.

You can attend the course if you:

have a certificate of general or specialist German language skills at language level B1
have submitted or would like to submit an application for recognition or examination of your knowledge in physiotherapy to the relevant authorities
have completed training or studies in the field of physiotherapy in your home country
are already working as a physiotherapist
would like to work as a physiotherapist in Germany after completing your training or studies abroad

In small groups (5-10 people), general and specialist language skills are taught in a medical context (with a focus on physiotherapy content).

This course deals with topics such as:

informal communication with patients (anamnesis, initial consultation, advice, etc.)
professional communication with colleagues (handovers, substitutions, written exchanges, e.g. by email)
the formulation and documentation of patient-oriented goals and measures or various clinical pictures from different specialist areas that you frequently encounter as a physiotherapist

In addition, B2 grammar relevant to the profession is practiced and A2-B1 grammar is repeated in order to consolidate general linguistic confidence, which also plays an important role in the field of physiotherapy.

The special module concludes with the compulsory professional language exam (Fachsprachenprüfung/FSP), for which you will be intensively prepared in the language course.

Our face-to-face courses in physiotherapy are based on a comprehensive curriculum, which we have repeatedly adapted over the years to meet the current challenges of the physiotherapy profession. We use specially developed teaching materials to ensure individual and targeted learning.

The courses conclude with the prescribed Fachsprachenprüfung of the competent authority, for which you will be intensively prepared here.
