Recognition of diploma
Are you a nurse or working in the health care sector and looking for a job in Germany? To be able to work in your profession, it is necessary to have your diplomas recognized. Part of this recognition procedure is a language test at level B2. Without recognition, you may only work as a temporary worker in hospitals or the health care sector. To prepare for the exam, you can therefore attend a German course with a focus on nursing and health care.
How does the recognition process look like and how can you prepare for the subject-specific language exam?
I
n order to work as a nurse in a hospital or in the health care sector, you must present your diplomas that you acquired abroad as well as a B2 German language certificate. Please note that the authorities only accept a TELC or Goethe certificate. This certificate confirms that you acquired a sufficient level of proficiency in German that you need in order to be able to safely communicate with patients and other health care workers. Not to forget: the exams are subject to a fee – if you fail the exam, you will lose money. Please also expect to wait at least 3 weeks for the exam results.
