Dienstleistungsbeschreibung
Apply for recognition of foreign professional qualifications as a curative education nurse
Curative education nurses are responsible for the educational, practical living and nursing support and care of people with disabilities. They accompany the persons to be cared for on an inpatient and outpatient basis in coping with their everyday life.
The profession of curative education nurse is regulated in Germany. This means that in order to be able to work as a curative education nurse in Germany, you need a state permit. With this permit, you may use the professional title "state-recognised curative education nurse" and work in the profession.
To obtain the permit, you must have your foreign professional qualification recognised.
In the recognition procedure, the competent body compares your professional qualification from abroad with the German professional qualification and checks the equivalence. The equivalence of the professional qualification is an important prerequisite for the granting of the state licence. In addition to the equivalence of the professional qualification, you must also fulfil other requirements for the granting of the permit. Further requirements are, for example, sufficient German language skills and health suitability.
You can also apply for the procedure from abroad.
Procedure
1. Application
You submit an application for recognition as a curative education nurse to the competent office.
2. Equivalence check
The competent body will then check whether you meet all the requirements. One important requirement is the equivalence of your professional qualification. The competent body compares your professional qualification from abroad with the German professional qualification as a curative education nurse. The professional qualification is equivalent if there are no significant differences between your foreign professional qualification and the German professional qualification.
3. Possible results of the examination
If your professional qualification is equivalent, your foreign professional qualification will be recognised. The competent body can confirm the result to you in writing. You still have to fulfil the other requirements. You will then be granted permission to use the professional title of curative education nurse.
There are various compensatory measures:
If you successfully complete the compensatory measure and fulfil all other requirements, you will receive permission to use the professional title of a curative education nurse.

- Are there any significant differences between your professional qualification and the German professional qualification? Perhaps you can compensate for the differences through your professional practice, other knowledge or skills (lifelong learning). You must provide evidence of professional practice. Knowledge and skills must be certified by an authority of the state in which you acquired the knowledge or skills.
- However, it may be that the essential differences cannot be compensated by this knowledge. In this case, your foreign professional qualification will not be recognised. You will then not be allowed to work as a curative education nurse in Germany.
- However, the competent authority will tell you the essential differences and why you cannot compensate for the essential differences through your professional practice. In most cases, you can take a compensatory measure. This will enable you to compensate for the essential differences.
There are various compensatory measures:
- Adaptation course
- aptitude test
If you successfully complete the compensatory measure and fulfil all other requirements, you will receive permission to use the professional title of a curative education nurse.
