Qualification, further training and advanced training opportunities for nursing in Germany
What you should know:
Immigration to Germany related to employment in the nursing sector can open up various career possibilities. There is thus a wide range of options for obtaining qualifications as well as further and advanced training within the field of nursing care.
Qualification options:
Nursing professions require vocational training in Germany. Since 2020 there has been a uniform vocational qualification leading to the title of “nursing professional”. This vocation- al qualification imparts overarching nursing competences. The competences gained here should enable one to look after people of different age groups in various areas of care. The designation “nursing professional” thus replaces the following former job titles:
● Geriatric nurse
● Paediatric nurse
