Our promise

Our promise to candidates

No placement fee Our German company charges you no placement fee and no deposit. For candidates in China, our Chinese company offers consulting services to help you prepare – details on anniezhongde.cn or in writing before you start.
Direct employment contract You sign your contract directly with the hospital. We are not a party to it, and there is no second contract.
Salary paid directly Your employer pays your salary straight into your own German bank account, never through us or any third party.
Everything in hand before you leave You travel only once you hold your signed contract and your visa. In Germany, German employment law protects you just like your colleagues.

Third-party costs (e.g. recognition, certified translations, visa, flights) are charged at actual cost; how they are handled is set out in writing when we propose a position. After the job offer you continue to B2, which is required for the professional licence.

No nursing background? Training in Germany is coming soon.

Germany’s nursing training (generalistische Pflegeausbildung) takes three years, combines hospital practice with nursing school, and leads to the qualification Pflegefachfrau / Pflegefachmann. There are no tuition fees, and trainees receive a monthly training salary. We don’t offer this programme yet. Sign up and we’ll let you know when it starts.
