Frequently Asked Questions

What is medical German (Deutsch für Mediziner)? +

Medical German is profession-specific German for doctors, nurses, and other healthcare workers. It builds on general German (usually from B2) and teaches clinical vocabulary, patient communication, doctor-to-doctor handovers, and documentation. In Berlin it is offered as 'Deutsch für Mediziner', 'Deutsch für Ärzte', 'Fachsprache Medizin', and 'German for Doctors / Nurses'.

What German level do I need to work as a doctor in Germany? +

To be licensed (Approbation) and to pass the Fachsprachprüfung (FSP), you generally need German at B2–C1 level. Most medical German courses assume you already have at least B2 general German and take you to the C1 medical language needed for clinical work and the FSP exam.

What is the Fachsprachprüfung (FSP)? +

The Fachsprachprüfung is the patient-communication exam required for medical licensing in Germany. It has three parts: a simulated doctor–patient conversation (history taking), written documentation of the case, and a doctor–doctor handover. Several Berlin schools run dedicated FSP-preparation courses — these are listed on this page.

Is medical German the same as the telc B2·C1 Medizin exam? +

They are related but not identical. telc Deutsch B2·C1 Medizin is a standardised language certificate for healthcare professionals, while the Fachsprachprüfung (FSP) is set by the regional medical chamber (Ärztekammer) for licensing. Many courses prepare you for both, since the language skills overlap heavily.

Are there medical German courses for nurses, not just doctors? +

Yes. Several Berlin providers offer 'German for Nurses & Healthcare Professionals' (Deutsch für Pflegekräfte) alongside doctor-focused courses. These focus on ward communication, care documentation, and the language needed for nursing recognition (Anerkennung).

Can I take medical German online in Berlin? +

Yes — some schools offer medical German and FSP preparation as live online courses, which is useful if you are still abroad or working full-time. Use the delivery-mode filter on the full course list to see only online options.
