B2 in Nairobi, then a nursing job in Germany
Our partnership with Rehse Gruppe Germany takes qualified nurses from a B2 classroom here to a paid role and recognition of their qualification there.

Why Teamgeist
Good teaching, fair fees, and the certificate at the end
We teach German in Nairobi CBD to people who have somewhere specific in mind — a university place, a nursing contract, an Ausbildung, a transfer, a family already there. That changes how a course should be taught, and it changes what you need to know before you start.
So we keep the fee within reach, put you in a room where speaking German is not frightening, hand you every book you need, and take you all the way to the Goethe exam rather than stopping at the last lesson.
Fees below what most schools charge
A1 is KES 32,000 for the full course, or KES 30,000 each when you register with a friend — materials in the price, no registration fee, and nothing extra to pay at the door.
Teachers people actually enjoy learning from
Groups are capped at 15, and our instructors teach in a way that makes speaking up feel normal — you ask the basic question, you get the patient answer, and the room stays one where mistakes are part of the lesson.
Goethe exam preparation, built in
Most German classes in Nairobi stop at teaching the language. We prepare you for the Goethe-Zertifikat itself — the format, the timing, the four modules and the past-paper practice — and help you register to sit it.
Every book and worksheet you need
Textbooks, worksheets, digital resources and progress tests come with the course. You are never sent hunting for a photocopy or asked to buy a book before the next unit starts.
Why German
What B1 and B2 actually unlock
German isn't the goal — it's the key. Here is what each level opens, so you can aim at the right one instead of paying for levels you don't need.
- A1–A2Family reunification visas, au pair placements, and the visa for having a foreign qualification recognised in Germany (that one runs on A2).
- B1Ausbildung — vocational training — and German citizenship after five years. The most useful single level there is.
- B2Nursing recognition, healthcare roles, the study visa, and most professional employment. What German employers actually ask for.
- C1Degree study in German, medicine, research and senior professional roles.

Kenya Trains Nurses It Cannot Absorb. Germany Cannot Find Enough. Here Is the Bridge.
Thousands of Kenyans qualify as nurses and then wait years for a job that never comes. Germany will be short hundreds of thousands of nurses. The thing standing between the two is a language and a recognition procedure — and both are solvable. Here is exactly how the Teamgeist and Rehse Gruppe pathway works.
Intake is open now — start German this month
