Written mid-Ausbildung, not by an agency

Get a nursing Ausbildung place in Germany. Without paying an agent.

I am doing the three-year Pflegefachmann training in Germany right now. This site is the process, written down: the requirements, the real salary, the visa, and how to find an employer and apply yourself.

Free to read. Nothing here is behind a form.

The four numbers people ask about first

Every figure on this site is linked to the official source it came from, and dated. Rules change every year, so check the source before you act on anything.

Most people arrive here with one specific question. Pick yours.

Why this site exists

When I was applying, almost everything I found online was written by an agency that wanted a fee, or by a content site that had copied another content site. Nobody told me that the visa office and the nursing school ask for different German levels. Nobody explained what a Zeugnisbewertung is until I needed one urgently.

So I am writing it down as I go. Every article says where its numbers come from and when I last checked them. Where I do not know something, I say so.

I also run a small paid community for people who want the templates, the employer list and the checklists in one place rather than reading twenty articles. It is $10 a month and it is entirely optional — everything essential is free on this site.

More about who I am →

An agent charges thousands. I charge $10 a month.

Inside the community you get the employer shortlist, the German-style CV and motivation letter templates, the self-review guide you use to check your own documents, the interview question bank and the visa document checklists. You do the applying. I show you exactly how.
