Online German courses for medical professions
Language is the last hurdle before your career in Germany.
LinguaMentor prepares doctors, nurses and medical students for the Fachsprachprüfung, telc German B1·B2 Nursing and the language certificate required for university admission. Online, in small groups, with full mock exams marked against the real assessment criteria.
- Licensed telc examiner and rater
- Medical supervision by a physician
- Two intensive weeks
- Advice available in Arabic
Why a specialised course
A general German course will not get you through the Fachsprachprüfung.
The exam does not test grammar. It tests whether you can take a patient history, hand a case over to a colleague and write a discharge letter — under time pressure, in front of a board.
We train these three parts from the very first session, not as an add-on in the final week.
- 1
Patient history
You speak to a patient in everyday language while staying medically complete. That is where most candidates fail — not on vocabulary.
- 2
Doctor-to-doctor talk
You present the same case in technical language: suspected diagnosis, differentials, next steps. A different register and a different pace.
- 3
Documentation
A discharge letter or handover, structured and correct — within the time you actually get in the exam, not the time you would have at home.
Who it's for
Three routes, one goal: getting licensed.
We do not teach general A1–B1. We work where language decides whether you may practise your profession.
Internationally trained doctors
No Approbation without passing the Fachsprachprüfung. We train the exam in the format your regional medical chamber actually uses.
- Patient history in everyday language
- Doctor-to-doctor talk in technical German
- Discharge letters under time pressure
- Two complete mock exams
Nurses
B1 or B2 Nursing is required for recognition of your qualification. Hospitals and recruitment agencies frequently cover the cost.
- Nursing documentation
- Shift handover
- Talking to relatives
- telc exam task formats
Medical students
Admission to a German medical programme requires B2 or C1. We already teach this group subject content through MedicoMentor.
- Academic German
- Lecture and seminar language
- Oral examinations
- Task formats of admission exams
Courses
Three courses, three clear prices.
Every session runs two hours, Monday to Thursday from 6 to 8 pm CET — the medical language course over three weeks, the other two over two. Afterwards you keep access to the learning platform with recordings, exercises and materials, with no time limit.

How it works
From the first conversation to the exam.
Enquiry
Fill in the form: goal, language certificate, preferred start. As soon as you select your certificate you see whether it is sufficient for the course. We reply within 24 hours.
Registration
You receive a course agreement and an invoice. Pay in full or in instalments, through your employer if you prefer.
The course
Two weeks, eight evening sessions. Every session is recorded and homework comes back corrected.
The exam
Two complete mock exams with marking. After that we support you with registering for the real exam.
Method
Why our participants need fewer attempts.
Clinical language, not textbook German
Vocabulary comes from history forms, discharge letters and handovers — not from the textbook chapter on holidays and hobbies.
Marked like the real exam
We correct against the same criteria used in the exam. Every week you know where you stand and what is still missing.
Two weeks, not two months
You already have the language level — what we train is the exam. That does not take eight weeks, it takes eight focused evenings. Afterwards your learning access stays, for as long as you need it.
Explanations in Arabic when needed
Lessons are taught in German. But when a structure does not land, we explain it in Arabic or English and then return to German.
Team
Taught by people who know both sides.
Examining experience on one side, everyday clinical practice on the other. That combination is rare — and it is exactly what this exam rewards.

FAQ
What participants ask before they book.
What exactly is the Fachsprachprüfung?
The medical language exam is administered by the regional medical chamber (Ärztekammer) and is a prerequisite for the Approbation, the German medical licence. It usually consists of three parts: a patient history interview, written documentation and a doctor-to-doctor conversation. Format and weighting vary between chambers — we prepare you for the version your chamber uses.
What level do I need to start?
For the medical language course you should be comfortably at B2. For the nursing courses a solid B1 is enough. The medical language course requires a certificate at B2 level; for the nursing courses B1 is enough. Select your certificate in the enquiry form and you will see immediately whether it is sufficient. If it is not, we tell you what is missing — before you book, not after.
When do classes take place?
Monday to Thursday, 6 to 8 pm CET, over two weeks — workable in the evening from Cairo, Damascus or the Gulf as well. Every session is recorded in case you cannot swap a shift.
Online or in person?
Online via Zoom. There is a practical reason: our participants are spread across different federal states and some are still abroad. For hospitals and agencies we also offer in-person courses on request.
Can my employer pay for the course?
Yes. On request we invoice the hospital, nursing service or recruitment agency directly. Separate rates apply for groups of five or more.
Can I pay in instalments?
Yes, the course fee can be paid in instalments. Mention it in your enquiry and we will put it in the course agreement.
What if I fail the exam?
We look together at which parts fell short and work specifically on those. For a repeat attempt we find a fair arrangement — nobody has to buy a second full course when only one component is missing.
Which language is used in class?
German. Consultation, administration and explanations of difficult points are also available in Arabic or English.
Do I get a certificate?
You receive a certificate of attendance listing course content and hours. It is deliberately not a language certificate: only the examining body — telc or the medical chamber — issues those. Our job is to get you through their exam.
