Detailed description
You can have a qualification as a geriatric nursing assistant from abroad officially recognized in Germany.
Please note: Your qualification must be officially recognized in the country in which you completed your training. Informal or non-formal qualifications cannot be officially recognized in Germany.
You apply for recognition at the responsible authority in the federal state in which you want to work. To do this, you must submit an application with all the necessary documents to the responsible state authority.
The responsible body then carries out an equivalence test. The responsible body compares your professional qualification from abroad with the professional qualification in the federal state. Important criteria in the comparison are the content and duration of the training.
You will receive a notification about the outcome of the procedure. The notification will state any professional qualifications you have and any that you may still be missing.
