Show mission statement

GERVIE makes international healthcare workers fit.

For German clinics, inpatient facilities for elderly care and outpatient services.

This is how we ensure language competence.

GERVIE is a close partner of respected language testing institutes such as telc and the Goethe Institute. We work with certified language teachers in permanent employment. The necessary technical vocabulary is also taught at an early stage through practical exercises and a close link to the technical curriculum.

This is how we ensure professional recognition.

GERVIE recruits international professionals for the care of the elderly and the sick, for clinics of various orientations as well as for inpatient facilities and outpatient services.

Training is carried out according to the German training curriculum and current standards in close coordination with the examination institutes and state authorities. Employee loyalty to the German company begins on site in the home country. This way, you get reinforcement from new colleagues who are already recognised as specialists and can be deployed immediately.

Our quality commitment.

We support you in motivating your employees and retaining them in the long term. GERVIE cooperates with international training institutes and universities that comply with the European reference framework and our own quality standards.

We can count on political support and close cooperation with official bodies. GERVIE’s know-how and credibility have ensured established relationships with all major partners. This is how we jointly train your new employees for the German market:

  • Holistic concept with language and technical training.
  • German language proficiency B2 (tested by Goethe-Institut and telc)
  • Mastery of medical terminology (with certificate)
  • Excellent level of professional qualification
  • Professional recognition in Germany through professional knowledge examination
  • High professional motivation and great affinity to Germany

    Starting point and foundation:

    The Vietnam Project 100.

    A model project with seamless integration.

    With the Vietnam Project 100, GERVIE began in 2016 to recruit selected and highly qualified nursing staff from Vietnam for a leading European care provider that is also active in Germany with retirement homes and rehabilitation clinics.

    The model project was based on a simple idea: if the professional requirements of the Vietnamese training are expanded to meet German standards, subsequent recognition in Germany will no longer be a problem. This is why GERVIE accompanied the recognition process until the German professional certificate “Gesundheits- und Krankenpfleger/in” was issued – and until the new employees were fully integrated.

    Our support for the healthcare workforce in Vietnam:

    • Recruitment of potential applicants prior to training.
    • Technical, language and cultural training
    • An office with a permanent contact person on site
    • Close support throughout the entire recognition process

    Our assistance with entry into Germany:

    • Taking over the visa procedure
    • Contacts with authorities
    • Signing agreements
    • Assumption of costs and obligations
    • Signing contracts as a healthcare professional
    • Germany-wide support in the target institutions
    • Professional quality controls by the DAA Hannover
    • Finding accommodation, dealing with authorities and bureaucracy
    • Integration into a suitable social environment
