For over 10 years, we have been working in the field of training and qualification with people from a wide variety of cultures and realities. Our expertise begins where standard solutions end: in a deep understanding of people. Between languages, systems and individual requirements.

Freedom here means taking responsibility: Taking responsibility.
500+ training courses, 120+ courses, 3000+ participants from a wide range of countries of origin and professions.
Experience, expertise and attitude gave rise to:
The Preboarding System.
A system that combines language skills, intercultural understanding and systemic support.
Not developed by chance -
but consistently developed.
Openness. Honesty. Reliability.
Self-determination and sustainable integration.
We support professionals and institutions with professional depth, structural clarity and genuine conviction.
We know both the perspective of international specialists and the requirements of clinics and facilities.
This is exactly where our approach came from.
We start earlier than others: in the crucial phase before work begins.
There, we analyze individual requirements and develop targeted preparation concepts that create security and orientation. The result is integration that is not achieved by chance, but is systematically prepared.
Our work is based on sound training and many years of practical experience:

Education:
"Ms. Höppner is always distinguished by a good work ethic. She consistently and without exception
performs work of very high quality. Her achievements deserve our fullest appreciation in every
respect. Ms. Höppner has the distinctive gift of quickly creating a basis of trust with her negotiating
partners"
"With the help of Mr. Höppner's intercultural knowledge and her huge amount of empathy she
contributes directly to the company's success. A self-starter by nature, she displays determination
and charisma in leading a class of individuals and motivating them to perform at the highest level"
"Ms. Höppner has comprehensive and versatile specialist knowledge, which she always applies confidently and
skillfully in practice. She designed the training modules and the language tests. She has
very good access to the participants and responds very well and individually to their different
requirements"
"Ms. Höppner's lessons mean a lot to me. She not only taught me the
knowledge of the German language, but also introduced the systematic methods for
self-organized and self-regulated learning. I have Mrs. Höppner to thank for the fact that
I passed B2 and C1 smoothly after learning"
"I have made great progress in a short space of time and I have more self-confidence and dare to use new words
. I can also express myself better and understand more in
conversations. I am no longer afraid of making mistakes because I know that this is part of the
learning process. So I can now speak more fluently with my colleagues at work or with patients
"
"Ms. Höppner's lessons are fun and very enjoyable. She adapted the content flexibly to
my level and gave us clear examples. We discover the special features of
nursing in different countries. In my opinion, this is a very great and
valuable learning exchange."
Where others only start at the beginning of employment, we work in advance: with clearly structured Preboarding that makes targeted use of the phase between B2 and entry - for measurably better integration.
