Differences: The training is designed as a generalist programme covering all areas of nursing, lasts 18 months instead of 24, and is valid regardless of the federal state. This means that with this qualification, you can work anywhere in Germany.
The full-time programme lasts 18 months and comprises 1,050 hours of theoretical and practical tuition, as well as 1,280 hours of practical training. The programme is organised on a dual-track basis: cooperation agreements between the nursing school, the provider of the practical training and other clinical placements ensure that your training is properly supported.
