How Get2Germany walks the path with you.
The approbation process is long. Here's what you can expect from us at every stage — from day one to your first shift in a German hospital.
Personalized roadmap
A 3-minute questionnaire is all we need. In return you get a step-by-step plan that knows your case — the exact documents, language requirements, and examinations that apply to you.
Track progress
Stay on top of your process from a single dashboard. Automatic reminders mean you never miss a deadline again.
Document vault tuned to your Bundesland
Every document you need in one organised place — and we know exactly which ones your specific Bundesland requires. Requirements change between states: Berlin asks for documents Bayern doesn't. We make that explicit so nothing gets missed.
Berlin asks for 3 more documents than Bayern — we flag every difference.
Access to all services

The questions we hear most.
We were built by doctors who went through the Approbation themselves — and we build for you, the doctor, not for agencies, clinics, or middlemen. Every feature reflects how the process actually works, in plain language.
Your personalised roadmap is tailored to your country of origin, your Bundesland, and your specialisation. You get a secure document vault, automatic deadline reminders, and direct answers to the bureaucratic questions that normally take weeks to untangle — all in one place, completely free.
If you want more — deeper content, stronger personalisation, or direct 1:1 human support — that's what our Premium membership adds. Optional, never required.
Our core services are completely free — a personalised roadmap, a secure document vault, deadline reminders, and everything you need to reach Approbation.

No — you can start at zero German. Your roadmap includes a structured language path: general B2 first, then medical C1 via the Fachsprachprüfung (FSP). Most doctors reach B2 in 6–9 months of focused study. You don't need German to gather documents, get them translated, or submit your application to the Landesprüfungsamt — only to pass the FSP and practise medicine in Germany.
The Fachsprachprüfung (FSP) is a C1-level medical language exam that proves you can communicate with patients and colleagues and document cases in writing. It has three parts: a 20-minute anamnesis with a simulated patient, a doctor-to-doctor handover, and a written medical report. First-attempt pass rates sit around 55–65%.
The two biggest predictors of passing first try are (1) a structured C1-medical prep course built around real exam templates and (2) mock simulations with German-speaking doctors. You can book both through our platform.
We also offer Approlearn — a one-of-a-kind mobile app on the App Store and Google Play, built specifically to prepare you for the Fachsprachprüfung.
Processing times can vary noticeably between Bundesländer — some states are consistently faster than others. But the fastest Bundesland isn't always the best choice: job market, cost of living, and whether the local authority requires the Kenntnisprüfung for your country of origin all matter.
Our free Bundesland calculator matches you to the state with the shortest total time-to-practice for your specific profile.
Want concrete examples tailored to your specialisation and situation? Talk to us — we'll walk you through what to expect in your specific case.
Yes — with a Berufserlaubnis. This is a temporary practice permit (up to 2 years, usually tied to one Bundesland and one employing clinic) that lets you work under supervision while your Approbation is being processed. It's often the fastest way to start earning a German doctor's salary, especially if you already have B2 and a concrete job offer.
