German Courses for Nurses & Healthcare Professionals in Berlin

For the online evening German course for nursing you should have a completed B1 level so that you can follow the lessons well. The focus is on the language of nursing professions and its particularities – not on reaching a specific exam level. If you have not yet reached B1, our intensive courses from A1 will prepare you to join.

The course comprises 10 modules in four thematic blocks: (1) from admission interviews to wound care, (2) interaction and organisation within the team, (3) legally sound documentation and prophylaxis, and (4) shift handovers, legal foundations and self-care. This covers the key speaking and writing situations of everyday nursing.

The online evening German course for nursing (B1/B2) costs {pflegeAbendDePrice} for the entire course (24 weeks, 96 teaching units). The price includes all learning materials and the final certificate. Separate prices apply for private lessons.

The course lasts 24 weeks. Lessons take place twice a week in the evening – Mondays and Thursdays from 18:15 to 19:45 – with a total of 96 teaching units. The focus is on the technical language of nursing; thanks to the long course duration, many participants also improve their general language level along the way, typically by about one CEFR sublevel.

You can find the current start dates in the course calendar further up this page or on Course dates. We recommend registering in good time before the course starts – ideally after a free consultation about your starting level.

The course differs from a regular language course through its strong practical focus: We practice role-play situations from professional practice, train communication with patients, colleagues, doctors and relatives, and teach specific vocabulary of the nursing industry.

After successful completion you receive a language certificate from our school documenting the nursing language skills you acquired in the course. For professional recognition, the State Examination Office for Health Professions in Berlin requires a recognized B2 language certificate; the TELC B2 course specifically prepares you for its language requirements.

The responsible authority is the State Examination Office for Health Professions at Turmstraße 21, Berlin. You must schedule an appointment online and submit all required documents, including your B2 language certificate.
