About Us

CareSteps is a training school for nurses and doctors who trained abroad and now want to work in Germany. We help nurses prepare for the state knowledge exam (Kenntnisprüfung) and doctors for the medical recognition exams on the way to their Approbation (licence to practise), so they can start working in their profession. CareSteps is run by StartSteps Digital Education GmbH, an officially certified (AZAV) training provider.
