Vocational school for nursing (BF P Berufsfachschule Pflege)

The new generalist nursing training program started in 2020. The previous vocational training courses in geriatric nursing, healthcare and nursing and healthcare and paediatric nursing were merged into a generalist training course leading to the vocational qualification of “Pflegefachfrau” or “Pflegefachmann”. This enables trainees to care for people of all ages in all areas of care (hospital, nursing home, outpatient care, etc.). After completing the generalist training, it is possible to change within the nursing care areas at any time. In addition, numerous further and advanced training courses as well as various nursing degree courses, some of which can be completed without a high school diploma, enable continuous career development. Due to the automatic recognition of the generalist vocational qualification, it is also valid in other EU member states.
