  1. Translation of documents and diploma recognition.
    The translated and certified documents are submitted to the licensing authority for recognition.
    During the individual recognition procedure, the authority compares your education with equivalent German education and issues a conclusion stating that the diploma will be recognized provided you complete practical training or pass an exam in subjects that are missing or have insufficient study hours.
Employment Stages

3. We find a clinic for you that undertakes the responsibility to help you complete the missing subjects and provide practical training in them.
The clinic signs an agreement with you for practical training as a nurse assistant.
4. Signing an employment contract to obtain a work visa. After completing the practical training and having a B2-level language certificate, the clinic provides a workplace as a nurse.
