Further training in German for the care sector
Your job-related language training in times of skills shortages

In our German for Nursing Professions course, you will learn the necessary job-related language skills. After completing the course, you will be well equipped for the care sector and can take the official telc-Deutsch B1/B2 Pflege language exam at our test center.

Type of event

We adapt to your needs! We know that the nursing staff are under enormous pressure due to the frequently changing shifts. Accordingly, the solutions for further training must be flexible and individual.

Groups are therefore put together individually and lesson times are arranged flexibly.

Lessons can take place online or as face-to-face lessons at your facility, at our premises in a group or as individual lessons.

Teaching scope

Each course is as individual as its participants. We first determine the language level of the participants with a qualified written placement test. After the placement test, we will discuss the number of lessons likely to be required for your goal and any necessary group division.

Groups or participants with a higher language level do not need to attend as many lessons as others who require more intensive or longer support.

Completion of the course

Our language courses for nursing staff are basically aimed at passing the telc-Deutsch Pflege B1/B2 language exam. The course therefore concludes with an official telc exam and a certificate of attendance. However, there is no obligation to take the exam. Your goals are our goals. And our success is when you are successful.
