Training for nursing assistants has, until now, been regulated by state law, with 27 different training pathways across Germany. From 1 January 2027, the training programme for nursing assistants will replace these with a standardised federal framework. Your qualification will therefore be recognised across all federal states, making it easier to move to another federal state after completing your training.
