German for nursing staff

German course for nursing staff in Hamburg

Our course “German for Nursing Staff from Language Level B1” is specifically aimed at nursing departments in hospitals, clinics, and retirement homes that are looking for a job-related German course for their new international employees.

The German course helps nursing staff to build on their existing German language skills in a targeted manner and to communicate confidently in their everyday working lives. At the same time, it serves as thorough preparation for the recognition course.

Our course helps your institution to provide international nursing staff with the best possible language training and to integrate them into your team in the long term. We accompany your employees' learning process in a transparent and structured manner: at the beginning, we evaluate and document their respective language level, and in the middle and at the end of the course, we evaluate their learning progress.

This gives you a reliable basis for ensuring that your employees are able to meet the language requirements of the recognition course and are well prepared for their professional work.

We have developed a tailor-made curriculum for our specialist language courses for nursing staff and have been successfully teaching German in this field for several years. Our language trainers hold additional qualifications in German for the care sector and for medical professions.
