Overview
The Fachsprachprüfung (FSP) is the medical language examination required by German Ärztekammern for international doctors applying for the Approbation or Berufserlaubnis. It assesses your ability to communicate confidently in three clinical scenarios: taking a patient history, discussing a case with colleagues, and writing clinical documentation.
Over six intensive weeks — 180 teaching units — our programme rebuilds your German around the realities of the German ward. You arrive with solid B2 German and leave exam-ready, having rehearsed every part of the FSP under real examination conditions.
Teaching is entirely in German and led by instructors who prepare doctors for the FSP every week. Weekly full mock examinations mean nothing on exam day will be unfamiliar.
