Hi everyone, Is it possible for me to do apprenticeship in nursing without aupair or vocational training in Germany.?

Please help, thank you

Nursing has nothing to do with being an au pair. And to work as a nurse one needs to have recognized training that equates to German standards. To work as a nurse in Germany, or to do a nursing vocational training (Ausbildung) in Germany, one needs a B2 level of German.

An apprenticeship ("Ausbildung") is a vocational training. So I don't understand what you mean by "Is it possible for me to do apprenticeship in nursing without aupair or vocational training in Germany?"

Hi, I started an Ausbildung zur Krankenpflegerin a few years ago. I submitted the usual job application packet (CV, cover letter) with my B2 certificate. My German was certainly not perfect at the time, but I submitted three applications, had two interviews, and got two offers.
