German for nursing - German courses for nursing staff

There is an increasing shortage of skilled workers in the nursing sector. For this reason, nursing staff from abroad are becoming increasingly important for hospitals, care facilities, care services and care agencies. However, skilled nursing staff without the appropriate knowledge of German quickly reach their limits.

We are responding to the increase in nursing staff from abroad and offer specific language courses in German as a foreign language for nursing staff.

Learning a new language is often a challenge - and this is exactly where we come in! If you would like to improve the German language skills of your nursing staff, iQ Lingua is the right language school for you. As an experienced provider of language courses in many different languages - including German as a foreign language - we place particular emphasis on practical learning.

The course content is determined in close consultation with you - thanks to the modular structure, we design our German course for nursing staff to be as flexible as possible - both in terms of content and delivery. You decide which language level your employees should reach and how quickly your employees should learn German for nursing.

Course content of the German courses for nursing staff

In our German courses for nursing staff, your nursing staff will specifically expand their German vocabulary and their knowledge of specialised nursing language. At the same time, you will develop the necessary communication skills to interact confidently and appropriately with patients, doctors, colleagues and relatives.

In addition, we provide you with the linguistic tools for correct care documentation - from medical history forms and biographical reports to care reports. We also prepare you linguistically for typical situations and challenges in everyday ward or department life.

You can find some examples of our course content here: 

  • Communication with patients
    e.g. admission interview, biography interview, information interview, general patient communication
  • Medical diagnoses and support
    e.g. pressure sores, heart disease, prophylaxis, wound treatment, patient restraint
  • Documentation and written communication
    e.g. medical history form, sick notes, emails, complaint form
  • Review of German grammar (B1 and B2)
    in a general and care-specific context
