The QR Training is an adaptation training procedure with an exam at the end to prove that your previous 3-4 year vocational training or University degree completed overseas is adapted to the standard German nursing qualification and by completing the QR Training and passing the knowledge exam, you are able to work as a Registered Nurse in Germany.
