Recognition of health and nursing care
Would you like to work in healthcare and nursing in Germany, but have completed your vocational qualification in another country? As the content of vocational training can vary greatly internationally, your training must be recognised in Germany.
If significant differences between your training and German training are identified ("notice of deficit"), you can compensate for this deficit with an adaptation period or a knowledge test. You will receive all the important information about the procedure, the course and the examination in a counselling interview. The consultation will clarify whether an adaptation period or a knowledge test is more suitable for you.

- Preparation for the knowledge or aptitude test
