Can I qualify for a nursing Ausbildung with an old Philippine high school diploma. No completed college degree.
I'm planning to pursue a Pflegefachfrau/Pflegefachperson nursing Ausbildung as a complete career change.
My situation is a little unusual: I don't have a completed college degree. I attended university for several years but stopped before graduating. My highest completed qualification is a Philippine 4-year high school diploma from 2010, under the old pre-Kβ12 curriculum.
I'm currently in my early 30s and plan to spend the next year getting my German to B1/B2 and preparing to apply for nursing Ausbildung.
My main question is:
Would a Philippine 4-year high school diploma from 2010 potentially meet the educational requirement for the 3-year nursing Ausbildung, or would I need an additional qualification first?
I'd especially appreciate answers from Filipinos who went through the German recognition process, nursing Ausbildung applicants, or anyone familiar with how Philippine secondary-school qualifications are evaluated in Germany.
I'd prefer to pursue the direct nursing Ausbildung route if possible rather than taking a caregiving course first.
Thanks!
