What is Nursing Ausbildung in Germany?

The Nursing Ausbildung (official title: Pflegefachmann or Pflegefachfrau) is a 3-year professional training program funded by the German government and healthcare employers.

It is not a traditional college degree where you sit in a classroom all day. It is a job-oriented training program:

Theory (2,100 Hours)

You study medical subjects like Anatomy, Pharmacology, and Ethics at a Nursing School (Pflegeschule).

Practical (2,500 Hours)

You work in real hospitals, elderly care homes, and pediatric wards, gaining hands-on experience with patients.

The "Generalist" Revolution

Since 2020, the separate courses for Elderly Care, Sick Care, and Pediatric Care have been combined into one universal qualification: Pflegefachmann/Pflegefachfrau. Your license is valid across all medical sectors in the entire European Union.

Nursing Ausbildung Stipend 2026: Earn While You Learn

One of the biggest reasons Indian students choose Germany is the financial independence. You do not pay tuition fees. Instead, you earn a monthly stipend (Ausbildungsvergütung).

Updated Stipend Rates for 2026 (Based on TVAöD Public Sector Collective Agreement):

1st Year

~ €1,340

per month

2nd Year

~ €1,402

per month

3rd Year

~ €1,503

per month

Caspia Pro Tip: Do I need a Blocked Account?

In 2026, the blocked account requirement is often waived for Nursing Ausbildung students because your monthly stipend (e.g., €1,340) is higher than the minimum blocked account limit (~€992). This saves you ₹10 Lakhs in upfront costs!

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Optimized for Google Answer Engines & Voice Search

1. Is Nursing Ausbildung in Germany completely free?
Yes! There are no tuition fees. In fact, it is a paid program where you receive a monthly salary of €1,300+ to cover your living expenses.
2. Can I apply for Nursing Ausbildung without NEET?
Yes. NEET is an Indian entrance exam and is not required for Germany. Your 12th-grade marks and German language skills are what matter.
3. Is a Blocked Account mandatory for Nursing Ausbildung?
In most cases, No. If your monthly stipend (e.g., €1,340) is higher than the required cost of living proof (~€992), the embassy usually waives the blocked account requirement. Caspia will guide you based on your specific contract.
4. How difficult is the German B2 exam?
It is challenging but achievable. With Caspia’s specialized training methodology, most Kerala students clear B2 in 6-8 months of dedicated study.
5. Can I work part-time during Ausbildung?
Yes, you can work up to 10 hours/week in a mini-job to earn extra pocket money, but your training schedule will be busy, so focus on studies first.
6. What is the difference between BSc Nursing and Ausbildung?
BSc Nursing is an academic university degree. Ausbildung is a practical vocational qualification. In Germany, both lead to the same license to practice as a Registered Nurse.
7. Can I bring my family while studying?
Generally, family reunion visas are for working professionals. During the 3-year Ausbildung, bringing a spouse is difficult unless they qualify for their own visa. You can bring them easily once you start working full-time after 3 years.
8. Is there an entrance exam for Ausbildung?
There is no centralized entrance exam like NEET. However, individual hospitals may conduct a digital interview or a small test to check your German proficiency and aptitude.
9. Can Arts/Commerce students apply for Nursing in Germany?
Yes, though Science students are preferred. If you are from Arts/Commerce but have strong grades and excellent German skills, you can still secure a spot. Caspia can help highlight your strengths.
10. Why choose Caspia Overseas for Nursing in Germany?
We are Kerala’s specialists for Germany. We don’t just send applications; we train you in the language, prepare you for the culture, and support you until you are settled in Germany.
