Nurses have the opportunity to submit complaints or suggestions at any time using our online complaint form on the website. The form is easily accessible and available in several languages.
2.2 Processing of the complaint

What bureaucratic steps are necessary?
To immigrate to Germany, various bureaucratic steps must be completed. These include the recognition of foreign qualifications, applying for a visa and registering with the residents' registration office. The responsible authorities include the immigration office, the Federal Employment Agency and the recognition portal.
Where can I find support and advice?
There are numerous publicly funded advisory centres that support migrants and newcomers. These offer help with integration, language courses, recognition of qualifications and labour market integration. Important contact points are the migration advisory services and the youth migration services.
How can I get involved politically and culturally?
Migrants have various opportunities to participate politically and culturally in Germany. These include participating in elections (after obtaining citizenship), involvement in citizens' initiatives and membership in clubs and religious communities. Cultural events and local communities also offer numerous opportunities for participation.
LANGUAGE ACQUISITION
Classifications according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR)
What is the CEFR? The Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) is an internationally recognized system for classifying language skills. The levels range from A1 (beginner) to C2 (near-native proficiency).
Required language level and specialist language test
To practice a nursing profession in Germany, a language level of B2 according to the GER is generally required. In some federal states, a specialist language test must also be taken.
Quality criteria of language school courses
Good language courses are accredited and prepare you specifically for the GER exams. Look for qualified teachers, small group sizes and a practice-oriented teaching concept.
