With our state-subsidized German courses in the special module “Healthcare professions” (nursing, geriatric nursing, healthcare, paediatric nursing or maternity assistance), you can optimally prepare for the language test required for your professional recognition.

If you would like to have your completed training in a healthcare profession recognized in Germany or if you are currently completing training for a healthcare profession abroad and would like to work in Germany afterwards, then this course is just right for you.

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.

You can attend the course if you:

have a certificate of general or subject-specific German language proficiency at language level B1
have submitted or would like to submit an application for recognition or examination of your knowledge in nursing and health care, geriatric care, pediatric nursing or maternity care to the respective authorities
have completed training in nursing and healthcare, geriatric care, pediatric nursing or maternity care in your home country
are already working as a nursing assistant or assistant in a healthcare profession
would like to work as a nursing and healthcare assistant or maternity assistant after your training

This course deals with topics such as:

informal communication with patients and relatives (admission, counseling, etc.)
professional communication with colleagues and doctors (handover, prescriptions, expert opinions, care planning and documentation, etc.)

Small courses (6-12 participants) are formed for each professional group.

The course concludes with the telc Deutsch B1/B2 Pflege exam, a language test tailored to the nursing professions. As a participant, you will be intensively prepared for this in the language course. This exam qualifies you for professional recognition as a nursing professional.
Alternatively, as part of the accreditation process, it is possible to complete the course with the specialized language exam in nursing (Fachsprachenprüfung FSP Pflege). This exam format is also covered in detail during the course.

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

The courses conclude with the language exams required for professional recognition (telc Deutsch B1/B2 Pflege) or the specialized language exam (Fachsprachenprüfung FSP), for which you will receive intensive preparation.
