Exam structure

Language requirement for occupational therapists

Occupational therapy is a regulated profession in Germany. For recognition, the responsible authority in the federal state checks the foreign qualification and asks for proof of German skills. We are not aware of a nationwide standard professional-language exam for occupational therapists. The facts below have not yet been checked against an official source.

Who it is for: Occupational therapists with a foreign qualification who apply for permission to use the professional title in Germany.
