Is this pathway for you?

Eligibility, made clear

You're eligible if…

  • You hold a GNM or BSc Nursing qualification from an INC-accredited institution
  • You are a registered nurse or have completed your nursing studies
  • You are willing to learn German up to B2 level — we train you free
  • You are open to relocating to Germany on the §16d route
  • You're ready to follow a structured 10–18 month pathway
!

Common misconceptions

  • “I need German before applying.”No — we train you free from A1 to B2.
  • “Jobs are guaranteed.”No agency can promise jobs; we provide a structured pathway and real hospital offers.
  • “I'll pay huge recruitment fees.”The nursing recruitment fee is ₹0.
  • “My family can't join me.”Family reunification is available once you reach registered nurse status.
  • “Recognition must finish before I fly.”Usually partial recognition first — you complete the Anpassungslehrgang in Germany.
