German for doctors and medical professionals
The route to Approbation runs through two language exams: general German at B2, then the Fachsprachprüfung (usually C1-level medical German) at the state medical chamber. The second one gets all the attention, but the first one is what delays most applications — you cannot sit the FSP without the B2 certificate in hand.
Sound familiar?
- Your Approbation file waits on a certificate, and test dates are booked out.
- Everyone sells expensive medical-German courses; almost nobody helps with the B2 that gates them.
- Reading medical papers in German is easy for you; the B2 Schreiben task is not.
- You are preparing while working clinically in another country.

Frequently asked questions
+What German level do doctors need in Germany?
Generally B2 in general German plus a passed Fachsprachprüfung (medical German at roughly C1) for Approbation. Requirements are set per Bundesland.
+Do you offer Fachsprachprüfung preparation?
No. The hub covers general telc and Goethe exams up to B2, which is the prerequisite. FSP preparation is specialist and comes after.
+How long does B2 take from B1?
Typically 150–250 hours of study. If you are already close, five timed mocks over a month will tell you whether you are ready to book.
