Approbation Preparation Course for Non-EU Graduates

Preparation for the “Medical Knowledge Test” (Kenntnisprüfung)

Preparation for the "Kenntnisprüfung"

To practice medicine in Germany, obtaining a state license (Approbation) or a temporary professional license (Berufserlaubnis) is mandatory. These credentials necessitate the demonstration of specific qualifications, notably including evidence of general language proficiency at the B2 level, medical language proficiency at the C1 level, and successful completion of the “knowledge test” (Kenntnisprüfung) for those who graduated from non-EU countries. The journey to meet these requirements involves numerous organizational and administrative steps, particularly concerning enrollment in preparatory courses and exam registration. We are committed to offering our support and guidance throughout this intricate process.
