This is what arriving looks like.
Arrived. First steps in Germany.
We pick you up. In person.
Learn. Earn. Stay.
A German qualification
You learn at the company and at a vocational school. Your qualification is valid in Germany without a recognition procedure.
Paid from day one
You receive training pay from the first month. For the visa it has to cover your living costs. We check this with the company in advance.
Stay afterwards
Once qualified, you can work in Germany as a skilled worker, often at your training company. After two years of work, a permanent settlement permit is possible if further requirements are met.
Source on the settlement permit: Section 18c(1) Residence Act, Make it in Germany.

Are you interested in nursing training? This self-test helps you decide.
The Career Orientation Decision Compass was made for this, by the quality association Faire Anwerbung Pflege Deutschland, which also awards the RAL quality mark. The self-test is aimed at young people from third countries considering nursing training, and helps you honestly work out whether this path suits you.
topic areas show what the training really involves: from pay and living costs to shift work, learning German and homesickness.
questions in about 15 minutes on the nursing profession, on life in a foreign country and on what this decision means for you personally.
languages to choose from, including Arabic, Vietnamese, Ukrainian and Farsi.
The result comes without a score. It shows where you feel sure and where questions remain. Save it and talk it through at your own pace.
The self-test is anonymous and non-binding. According to the quality association, answers are not stored, not passed on and have no influence on placement decisions.
It won't be easy. But it's worth it.
Learning German takes time and discipline. Vocational school is in German, and homesickness is sometimes part of it.
You walk this path with us: we are there for you, from your first course to your qualification.
