Our preparation courses

Kenntnisprüfung Preparation Course
Our Kenntnisprüfung preparation course was developed in partnership with AMBOSS. The programme combines theoretical knowledge, practical case analysis, and exam simulations – everything needed to fully prepare you for the medical knowledge exam in Germany. In addition, all students in this course get full access to the AMBOSS platform for self-study. The course features a convenient schedule of daytime and evening hours suitable for working doctors.

Fachsprachprüfung Preparation Course
This course prepares you for the Fachsprachprüfung by developing the medical language and communication skills needed in the German healthcare system. Participants learn how to take patient histories, write medical documentation, and present clinical cases in accurate medical German. It also includes key exam-relevant medical knowledge and realistic simulations to build the confidence needed to pass the exam and easily communicate in a professional environment.

Combo Course for the Fachsprach- and Kenntnisprüfung
Our Combo Course for the Fachsprachprüfung and Kenntnisprüfung provides a structured preparation pathway for both exams. It combines the content and methods of our individual courses and is tailored to prepare you for both steps efficiently. Best of all, this course requires only one Bildungsgutschein.

Das sagen unsere Kunden über uns
Ich bin mit der Vorbereitung auf den Kurs sehr zufrieden. Die wichtigsten Informationen wurden rechtzeitig mitgeteilt, und der Einstieg in den Online-Kurs war dadurch sehr unkompliziert.Ich möchte mich besonders bei Patrick Verhoeven bedanken. Er hat meine Fragen immer schnell beantwortet und mich bei organisatorischen Themen sehr gut unterstützt.Bisher bin ich mit dem Ablauf sehr zufrieden und würde den Kurs auch anderen Ärztinnen und Ärzten empfehlen.
Meine Erfahrungen mit Lingoda waren großartig, ja sogar unglaublich. Das liegt daran, dass ich sie zuerst online entdeckt habe und mich entschlossen habe, an ihrem Webinar teilzunehmen. Die Mitarbeitern gehen sehr gründlich vor und stellen sicher, dass man jeden Schritt verstanden hat, bevor es mit dem nächsten weitergeht. Sie waren sogar bei der Anmeldung behilflich, und wenn man Anspruch auf ein Bildungsgutschein hat, stellen sie einem gerne ein Bildungsangebot aus. Man kann auch selbst bezahlen, wenn man unter Zeitdruck steht oder es sich leisten kann. Ich werde wieder berichten, wie der C1-Medizin-Kurs und die FSP-Vorbereitung gelaufen sind. Du solltest es auch einmal ausprobieren, ich kann sie wärmstens empfehlen.
Das Team war unglaublich hilfsbereit, geduldig und hat mir bei allen Formalitäten und Fragen sofort geholfen. Der gesamte Anmeldungsprozess verlief absolut reibungslos und professionell.
Sehr gute und professionelle Unterstützung während des gesamten Prozesses. Die Beratung war freundlich, zuverlässig und sehr hilfreich. Ich bin mit der Betreuung sehr zufrieden und kann den Vorbereitungskurs weiterempfehlen. Vielen Dank!
Meine Mitarbeiterin, Anna-Laura Santamaria war super freundlich und extrem hilfsbereit. Sie hat sich wirklich Mühe gegeben und mein Problem schnell geklärt. So einen Service wünscht man sich!
Leute das Team ist ein sehr gutes Team und ich habe mich sehr gefreut sowie der Kurs ist sehr gut Strukturiert. Ich empfehle euch alle diesen Vorbereitungskurs.

Match Doctors by Lingoda is here to support internationally trained doctors obtain their approbation in Germany! We offer personalised guidance to secure government-funding for our preparation courses for the Fachsprachprüfung and Kenntnisprüfung. Our unique approach focuses on supporting you through the process to obtain funding whether you are employed in the medical field or not.
We offer three courses for international doctors: the Fachsprachprüfung (FSP) Preparation Course, focused on medical language training for the medical language exam; the Kenntnisprüfung (KP) Preparation Course, designed in partnership with AMBOSS to prepare for the medical knowledge exam; and the Combo Course of Fachsprach- and Kenntnisprüfung, which combines both courses into one integrated program (with a single Bildungsgutschein).
A Bildungsgutschein is an educational voucher provided by the German Employment Agency (Agentur für Arbeit) that covers the full cost of approved training courses, including our FSP and KP preparation courses.

Match Doctors by Lingoda will guide you through the entire process — after registering, you will be assigned a personal contact who will support you with your application and assist you throughout the course. If state funding is not approved, you still have the option to join the course on a self-financed basis.
