Preparatory course over 200 hours

Our course of 200 teaching units prepares you for your practical and oral knowledge test over a period of around three months. In terms of content, you will go into nursing theory in depth and will thus be optimally prepared for the knowledge test. In addition, you will have practical phases with your employer and will be accompanied by practical instructors and mentors. This will allow you to deepen the theoretical content in practice. We will help you with the theory-practice transfer through skill and simulation training in our modern simulation rooms.

You have the option of applying for a training voucher through the employment agency, so that you do not incur any further costs. Please contact the employment agency in your place of residence for this.

The course concludes with a practical and oral knowledge test.

Nursing professionals from non-EU countries and non-European countries who have completed vocational training in their home country and who would like to take the knowledge test to recognize the equivalence of their training as a health and nursing professional for the federal states of Berlin and Brandenburg.

When registering for the preparatory course, please submit the following documents:

  • Proof of German language skills; at least level B2
  • Notice from the responsible state office to carry out the knowledge test

This learning process is accompanied by practical instruction in the facility and can be supported by the academy's teachers if necessary.
