Teaching approach

With our state-funded vocational language course for apprentices (Azubi-BSK), we offer apprentices in the nursing field a targeted and flexible language support program tailored to their individual needs throughout their entire training period. The aim of the course is to prepare the prospective apprentices both in terms of general professional language and educational language for their training and to support them in achieving their vocational goals. The courses help bridge language gaps, deepen subject-specific vocabulary, and optimally prepare apprentices for their interim and final exams. Through this customized language support, Azubi-BSK helps reduce dropout rates and increases graduation rates. The courses are aimed at vocational school classes.

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

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

Apprentices can attend the course if they:

have signed a training contract for a dual vocational education in Germany
are a vocational school-age individual with a migration background
are in an eligible training program and need support in meeting the language requirements of vocational school lessons as well as the interim and final exams
have received eligibility for participation from the BAMF

The course:

focuses on the language requirements for mastering subject-specific vocational school lessons
teaches apprentices the specialized language of nursing
supports apprentices in understanding and successfully participating in vocational lessons
prepares apprentices for the language requirements of professional practice in the nursing field
assists apprentices in successfully completing their interim and final exams

Medium-sized groups (7-25 participants) are formed.

The goal of the course is to prepare prospective apprentices both in terms of general professional language and educational language for their training and to support them in achieving their vocational goals. Therefore, the course content and learning objectives are aligned with the linguistic and communicative requirements of subject-specific vocational school lessons and the topics of the respective subjects.

Our in-person courses for nursing professionals are based on a comprehensive curriculum, which we have continually adapted over the years to meet the current challenges of the nursing profession. We use specially developed teaching materials to ensure individualized and goal-oriented learning.

Certified language lecturers

Our lecturers have extensive expertise in teaching medical terminology and some have previously worked in nursing homes themselves.

Vocational School-Integrated Support

The vocational language course complements the lessons and is characterized by close collaboration with vocational schools. The lecturer of our language course regularly communicates with the school administration and vocational school teachers. This way, the communicative skills of the participants can be specifically fostered, and their language needs can be individually addressed.

Reviews

Yue:

I did the B1/B2 German course (for nursing professions) at the MASK Center. The teachers and lecturers are very helpful and very competent. My questions were answered very well and we were very well prepared for the exam. I am happy to recommend the school! Best regards
