Approbation in Germany

To work as a medical (human) doctor in Germany, you need state approval known as Approbation. The Approbation is an unrestricted professional licence. This licence is required if you want to work as a doctor of medicine in a clinic in Germany or if you want to establish your own practice. Through an educational programme you can prepare to take the necessary exams in order to obtain your professional licence to practise medicine in Germany.

Preparation courses for medical language and knowledge exams

About the medical knowledge course

If you are currently employed, but looking to obtain approbation then this course is for you. It has been designed so that you can continue working whilst preparing for the medical knowledge exam. With the help of our cooperation partner AMBOSS , we developed a 100% funded course which gives you a great opportunity to prepare extensively for the exam. This course thoroughly prepares you not only to pass the medical knowledge test, but to be prepared as you begin working in the medical field in Germany. If you are not an EU citizen then you must pass this exam in order to receive approbation and work as a doctor in Germany.

This course includes theory based on the AMBOSS curriculum, combined with practical orientation through case studies, digital exchange with doctors and preparation for writing medical reports. It also includes exam simulations to prepare you for the medical knowledge test.

About the medical language course

The preparation course for the Fachsprachprüfung exam focuses on your language skills in order to prove that you have a certain level of German, comparable to C1. All doctors who earned their medical degree outside of Germany must complete the professional language exam. Furthermore, it is the requirement to enrol for the medical knowledge test, which needs to be passed to receive the approbation (only a requirement for anyone who earned their medical degree outside of the EU). However, if you are a non-EU citizen, you will first receive a medical licence for two years.

This course takes place online with native-level teachers who will provide you with specialist medical language training. In addition it includes self-study components to help deepen your knowledge, exam simulations to prepare for the final oral exam and the opportunity to write medical letters in cooperation with qualified doctors. You’ll also have the chance to work on case studies from a wide range of specialist areas.

FAQs

How are our courses funded?
These courses can be 100% government-funded through an educational voucher known as a Bildungsgutschein by the Jobcenter/Agentur für Arbeit. If you have a degree in medicine and are a resident of Germany you may be eligible. Otherwise, you can fund the course yourself.
What if I have not yet reached B2 German?

If you are not at a B2 level of German, you cannot yet begin with the medical language preparation course, but you can take our language courses for doctors! Find out more about these flexible, online language courses specifically designed for doctors.

Are these preparation courses available for other medical specialties?
No our Kenntnisprüfung and Fachsprachprüfung preparation courses are only available for medical doctors of human medicine.
