Overview
The Kenntnisprüfung is a subject-knowledge examination in medicine, required for non-EU doctors whose qualification is not fully recognised in Germany. Where the FSP tests clinical language, the Kenntnisprüfung tests your medical knowledge across specialties — in German.
Across eight intensive weeks and 240 teaching units we work through the core examinable specialties in German, combining knowledge revision with the oral examination technique the Prüfungskommission expects.
We help you confirm whether you need the Kenntnisprüfung, the FSP, or both, and tailor the preparation to your specialty and federal state.

- 240 teaching units of focused revision
