Using your nursing experience to qualify as a nursing assistant
Are you already working in the care sector or have you started training to become a qualified nurse?
If so, our 320-hour preparatory course for the state final examination to become a nursing assistant might be right for you.
The fast-track route is available if you discontinued a training programme under the Nursing Professions Act after completing only half the training period, or if you have worked full-time in nursing for at least three years. A correspondingly longer period of part-time work may also be taken into account.
At the time of application, no more than 36 months may have elapsed since you discontinued your training or ceased working in nursing.
The relevant authority will decide whether you can take the fast-track route based on your application. A further requirement is a positive assessment by us, as the training provider, of your prospects of success in the state final examination.
Are you unsure whether you meet the requirements? Get in touch with us – we’ll be happy to advise you on your options.

The preparatory course concludes with a state examination, comprising:
a written examination
a practical examination

Discover the new career in care, where you can support people, take on responsibility and shape your own future.
