Approbation Service

To practise your profession in Germany, you need to obtain the professional licence known as Approbation.

Our intro calls are free.

As ProMed Career Consulting GmbH, we provide comprehensive consulting to plan your recognition process with the right strategy, prepare your application professionally, and manage the process with institutions.

You want to work in Germany, but does the Approbation process feel overwhelming?

Many healthcare professionals want to start, but hesitate because of similar questions:

  • What happens if I make a mistake during the application and the process gets blocked?
  • I do not know which documents I need or where and how to obtain them.
  • My university provides different documents and applicants say different things - which one is correct?
  • I have never lived in Germany before; which state and city are right for me?
  • State requirements change constantly - how can I keep track?
  • I do not know what to expect after submitting my application.

These uncertainties can delay many candidates from starting or lead to wrong steps.

At ProMed, we remove these uncertainties by planning your Approbation process correctly from the start and creating a clear plan tailored to each application.

An Approbation application is more than just sending documents

How your application is prepared, how educational content is presented, and which strategy is used directly affect the outcome.

That is why at ProMed we approach the Approbation process as a strategic and academic application process.

How do we support you in the Approbation process?

Professional application file preparation

An Approbation application is not only about submitting documents. What ProMed does:

  • Ensures documents are prepared correctly
  • Ensures they are submitted fully and without errors
  • Ensures the application is submitted to the correct federal state
  • Structures the file in line with institutional expectations

Curriculum and syllabus analysis

In many applications, educational content and curriculum are not presented in sufficient detail, which can unnecessarily direct candidates to the Kenntnisprüfung (knowledge exam taken when your education is not considered equivalent). Therefore, before submission:

  • We review your university curriculum and course content
  • We compare them with assessment criteria in Germany
  • We identify missing or incorrectly expressed content and provide solutions
  • We strengthen your application file with the required adjustments

This work ensures your application is supported by a strong and systematic file for expert assessment once it enters review.

Process tracking and institutional representation

After submission, the process can become unclear for many candidates. At ProMed, every client file is tracked in a planned and systematic way.

  • We regularly monitor file progress and contact relevant institutions directly
  • We evaluate incoming correspondence and prepare necessary responses
  • We take written and verbal action so your file progresses in line with regulations and practice
  • We provide regular updates to clients about process developments

With the process tracking we establish for each client, applications are managed in an organised and meticulous way.

Frequently Asked Questions

Approbation is the professional licence you need to practise independently in Germany as a physician, dentist, pharmacist or veterinarian. It is granted once and is valid indefinitely throughout Germany.

If certain conditions are met, limited-term employment under a Berufserlaubnis (temporary work permit) may be possible; in most cases you must already have submitted an Approbation application.
