Get Started
Ausbildung for nursing is a three-year vocational training course, where students go to classes, and go to work.
Time is split between practical work experience (where you’ll earn a regular income) and classroom training. Ausbildung gives you work, an education, and the practical experience you need to become a registered nurse in Germany.
Ausbildung only requires that you have a school leaver’s education, and that you learn German up to B2 level. It’s a shorter path to becoming a nurse in Germany, and gives you the footing to further both your education and your nursing career.
