Procedure details

Upon application, the responsible government can recognize other successfully completed training or successfully completed parts of training to the extent of their equivalence up to two thirds of the duration of training to become a nursing specialist (see Section 12 Para. 1 PflBG).

According to Section 12 (2) of the Nursing Professions Act (PflBG), training that meets the "Key points for training for assistant and helper professions in nursing" (BAnz AT 17.02.2016 B3), which were adopted as minimum requirements by the Conference of Ministers of Labor and Social Affairs in 2012 and the Conference of Ministers of Health in 2013, can be credited to one third of the training in accordance with Section 6 (1) sentence 1 PflBG upon request.

The shortened nursing training must not jeopardize the achievement of the training objective.

  • Report card (final, annual, interim)
    Proof of successfully completed training courses and/or parts of training courses

The application can be submitted informally in writing (by post or e-mail) to the responsible government.

In order to obtain a timely decision, the application for a training start in the fall must be submitted by 31.05. at the latest, for a training start in the spring by 31.01. at the latest. Applications received after this date will be processed, but we cannot guarantee that they will be processed in good time.

Admission to the nursing school is decided separately by the school management, so an interview must be held with them in advance.
