Well prepared for nursing practice

Since January 1, 2020, nursing professionals in Germany have been trained on a generalist basis on the basis of the Nursing Professions Act. This means that after their training, they are qualified to care for people of all ages and can work in all areas of nursing care. The three areas of care are acute inpatient care, outpatient care and long-term inpatient care. During their training, trainees must complete practical placements in all of these areas. In addition, there are placements in pediatrics and psychiatric care. In addition, they have the opportunity to set their own priorities in elective placements. The trainees spend the majority of their practical training with the provider of the practical training. The AdG has the advantage of cooperating with institutions from all areas of care and can therefore provide the trainees with optimal support. A total of 2500 practical hours must be completed during the three-year training.

A big advantage of training to become a qualified nurse is the legally required focus on skills. This means that trainees learn what they really need in order to act appropriately in complex care situations.

The theoretical training comprises 2100 hours. The content is based on a nationwide binding framework curriculum. This increases the level of the qualification and ensures the quality of care for those in need of care across the board.

The training is divided into theoretical and practical phases, based on the dual training system established in Germany. The great advantage here is a continuous transfer of theory to practice and, conversely, the theoretical learning location always deals with current topics from practice. Of course, the trainees are not sent out into practice without appropriate preparation. In our skills labs at the third learning location, training and transfer, the trainees can try out newly learned nursing techniques in a protected space, train skills and experience and reflect on realistic nursing situations in simulations.

Training at the academy

The training concept of the 3 learning locations

We are convinced that professionals who want to work in the healthcare sector must have cross-functional and cross-sector thinking, coupled with a professional attitude. The academy's didactic concept, learning at three learning locations, interprofessional teaching and learning arrangements and interaction with new technologies are the academy's future-oriented paths, together with its practice partners from the healthcare sector.

Learning Place THEORY – Professional skills and competencies build on knowledge

Lectures and case-based seminars convey the technical fundamentals and contexts of the respective profession. Interprofessional events broaden your own professional perspective and understanding of other professional groups in the healthcare sector.
Independent and individual learning is made possible, among other things, through the use of new media.

Learning place TRAINING & TRANSFER (LTT) – Practice and training in a protected space

In the Training & Transfer learning area, participants should train and consolidate skills and abilities in a setting that is as authentic as possible. Unlike in real working life, mistakes do not have any serious consequences, but rather play an important role in the learning process. Learning with and from one another also plays an important role in this area.
The teachers take on the role of coaches in this area. The individual prior knowledge and experience of the participants are actively integrated and the content is tailored accordingly. The learning process is supported and accompanied by intensive reflection on learning progress.

Learning Place PRAXIS – Learning under Real Conditions

Professional practice completes the training process with specific situations and tasks. Depending on the level of training, there are targeted practical phases in which the participants can test and further develop the knowledge, skills and attitudes they have learned.
The training participants are expertly guided and accompanied by staff in the practice facilities and teachers at the academy.
Collected experiences and events serve as a starting point for the further professional learning process in the theory and LTT learning areas and are taken up in the courses and appropriately taken into account.
The practical learning takes place in the respective training centers of the training participants (hospitals, inpatient and outpatient care facilities) as well as other institutions involved in the training.
