Weiterbildung in der Pflege; Beantragung der Anerkennung von Weiterbildungseinrichtungen

In order to carry out the further training regulated in the AVPfleWoqG (facility management, nursing service management, practical guidance and geriatric psychiatric nursing and care), further training institutions require state recognition.

Further training institutions must apply for state recognition from the Association of Nurses in Bavaria (VdPB).

Subsequent significant changes to the relevant recognition requirements must be reported immediately. Otherwise, recognition may be withdrawn.

The state-recognized continuing education institutions are obliged to report to the competent authority on request on the facts relevant to the decision, to submit the necessary evidence and to cooperate in inspections.

If the VdPB has not decided on an application for state recognition within a period of four months after receipt of the application including the complete documentation, recognition is deemed to have been granted.

The competent authority for further training under the AVPfleWoqG is the VdPB (recognition is independent of location).

• Proof of qualifications
• Proof of professional pedagogical aptitude
• Proof of practical or teaching experience

State recognition is granted upon application (Section 55 (2) AVPfleWoqG) if

1. the management of the respective further training course has the appropriate professional and pedagogical qualifications,
2. professionally and pedagogically suitable teaching staff are employed,
3. a concept for the implementation of all modules is submitted and
4. the further training is carried out in accordance with the provisions of the AVPfleWoqG.

A fee of EUR 400 to EUR 1,000 is charged for each training course (depending on the amount of work involved in the examination). The costs are calculated according to the Bavarian list of costs, tariff no. 7.VI.4/ no. 2.9 and 2.10.

Recognition is applied for online on the VdPB homepage.
