Frequently asked questions – FAQs
- Once you are accepted onto the Triple Win programme, you will attend German language classes in your home country until you pass the B1 exam. The B1 certificate is a compulsory requirement for being able to enter Germany as part of the Triple Win programme. The German classes take place online or in-person in your local area, and the costs are covered by us.
- If you pass the B1 examination on your first attempt, you are eligible for a cash bonus. After arriving in Germany, you will continue to learn German until you obtain a B2 certificate. You won’t be charged any additional costs for these language classes either.
- We will arrange job interviews with employers in Germany for you. As a result, there’s no need to worry about this step or apply for jobs yourself.
- A hospital or an elderly care institution? Bavaria or northern Germany? Midwifery or radiology? We will check whether there are any vacancies that match your preferences and skills/knowledge, and organize an online
job interview.
- If your interview is a success, you will receive a job offer and an employment contract in accordance with German employment law – with the same conditions that apply to German workers.
- Nursing is a regulated profession in Germany. This means the qualification you gained as a registered nurse in your home country needs to be officially recognized in Germany. There is a process in place for the recognition of foreign qualifications in Germany, which you will need to go through.
- We prepare you for working in Germany both linguistically and professionally in your home country. You start the process for getting your qualifications recognized in your first year after arriving in Germany, which you will ideally complete within 12 months or 36 months at the most. Your employer and our team in Germany are there to guide you through the recognition process.
Germany offers nurses a wide range of opportunities for their long-term professional development. With Triple Win, not only will your qualifications be recognized, you will also have a solid basis for building your career in the German healthcare sector. The skills and certifications you acquire will enable you to build on your qualifications – through further training, specialization or being promoted to a management position, for example.
Our support doesn’t end when you arrive in Germany. As a link between nurses and German employers, our team in Germany helps you with your integration, assists you with the initial administrative formalities, organizes virtual welcome meetings and helps you get your qualifications recognized.
“We stay in touch with the candidates throughout the Triple Win process – from their application to their full integration in Germany. We prepare nurses with free language classes, specialist seminars and orientation courses, and help to put them in contact with employers in Germany, conclude employment contracts and assist with their initial integration into German society.”
