Which German certificate do I need for nursing in Germany: telc or Goethe B2?

Check which certificate the employer or the recognition body accepts, because requirements differ by role and by state. Ask in writing before you book, and choose the test your employer names, or the one with a test centre near you if both are accepted. Both telc and Goethe offer nursing-focused German, so the choice is often about the centre, the date and the cost. Our German for nursing practice covers reading, grammar and ward language, styled after telc and Goethe nursing exams, and our German B2 Pflege exam page explains the test. The questions are free, but they are not official exam material. Pair the practice with a teacher or a language partner for speaking, because written practice alone does not train conversation. Save your certificate and its validity date, because employers and authorities ask for the original.
