Discover our high-quality Practical Instructor Continuing Education program, tailored to the Nursing Professions Act (PflBG). Our competency-oriented approach combines theoretical concepts with practical action chains at the learning site – for innovative and practice-oriented training.
Since the integration of elderly care, health and nursing care, and pediatric nursing into a generalist nursing profession, practical instruction has become a central element. According to the PflBG, at least ten percent of the training time is specifically dedicated to practical instruction.
Our 300-hour continuing education program develops essential competencies for effective practical instruction, rooted in the roles and professional understanding of instructors. A concept-oriented approach underpins the implementation. However, our platform offers more than just knowledge – it creates a connected community for future exchanges among practical instructors.
Our goal is to encourage practical instructors to ask questions and thus foster a reflective, constructive working method. Join our continuing education program and actively shape the future of nursing training!
Our Practical Instructor Continuing Education is aimed at nursing professionals who, according to § 4 of the Nursing Professions Training and Examination Ordinance, hold a completed nursing education and a corresponding professional license according to the Nursing Professions Act, the Elderly Care Act, or the Health Care Act. If you have at least one year of professional experience, we warmly welcome you. In our supportive environment, you can not only enhance your expertise as a practical instructor but also actively participate in shaping the future of nursing. We look forward to supporting you on your path to becoming a practical instructor and discovering new horizons together.
