Build the best international Healthcare team

• What qualifications do your nurses hold?Our candidates are qualified nursing professionals with either a BSc in Nursing or a General Nursing and Midwifery (GNM) diploma, supported by relevant clinical experience. Before deployment, they also complete certified German language training up to B2 level, ensuring they’re ready to integrate and perform in a clinical environment from day one.
• How do we  ensure real language proficiency, not just certification?At BorderPlus, our language training is designed not only to meet certification standards but to ensure nurses can communicate effectively in clinical settings. We ensure transparency and readiness through:
  • A full-time finishing school model, fostering higher commitment and lower dropout rates
  • Recorded speaking sessions, shared with employers for direct evaluation.
  • iSCOPE Scorecards, offering detailed insights into each candidate’s progress and language performance

  Our approach is built around the A.C.E. Language Training Model, designed specifically for healthcare professionals.

  A.C.E. stands for Acquire, Connect, Experience:

  • Acquire: Structured B2-level instruction combining live and self-paced learning, supported by engaging tools like videos, games, and continuous assessments.
  • Connect: Curriculum aligned to real-world medical settings, including healthcare vocabulary, patient interactions, and cultural nuances.
  • Experience: Hands-on learning through AI chatbots, hospital simulations, and roleplays to build practical fluency.

  This end-to-end process ensures that every candidate isn’t just certified, but truly ready to contribute on day one.

• Which countries do you recruit from?We currently recruit qualified nurses from India, the Philippines, Brazil, and North Africa. Our global sourcing network is continuously expanding, with new regions added each quarter based on demand and healthcare partner needs.
