What is Fachsprachtrainer?

Fachsprachtrainer is an AI-powered training platform for medical German. It helps doctors train their medical language for clinical practice and the Fachsprachprüfung (FSP) — through conversation simulations, Arztbrief exercises, and aloud practice with speech recognition.

What's the difference from Kenntnistrainer?

Kenntnistrainer prepares for the Kenntnisprüfung — that's about medical knowledge. Fachsprachtrainer focuses on medical language and communication in German. Two different exams, two specialized platforms.

Does the FSP only test language or also medical knowledge?

The FSP primarily tests your ability to communicate medically in German — conversations, documentation, explanations. Basic medical knowledge is assumed, but the exam evaluates your language competence.

What German level do I need to start?

B2 German is recommended. You choose your own starting level, and the exercises adapt to the level you picked — from basic communication to exam-ready C1 medical language.

How does speaking practice work?

You speak medical terms and sentences. The app compares the recognized text with the expected phrase and honestly shows which words were recognized. This is training feedback, not an official pronunciation assessment.

Can I practice writing medical reports?

Yes. You receive a clinical scenario and write an Arztbrief. The AI gives you feedback on the structure, medical language, grammar, and completeness of your letter — and shows improvements sentence by sentence.

How is this different from a regular German course?

German courses teach everyday language. Fachsprachtrainer trains medical communication — history taking, findings discussion, patient counseling, medical reports. Every exercise is medical and exam-relevant.

Is there a free plan?

Yes. During the current testing phase you can try every learning area for free. Please tell us directly if something is missing or broken.

Is Fachsprachtrainer also useful for doctors already working in Germany?

Absolutely. Many users are already working in clinical settings and want to improve their medical communication — ward round language, medical reports, patient counseling. The training is as practice-relevant as it is exam-relevant.

Which medical specialties are covered?

Scenarios cover internal medicine, surgery, emergency medicine, pediatrics, gynecology, neurology, and more. New scenarios are added regularly.

Does the AI make decisions about me?

No. The AI only gives you practice feedback on your training conversations and practice documents — it makes no automated decisions about you as a person (GDPR Art. 22). Your practice results have no effect on the real Fachsprachprüfung: it is conducted and graded exclusively by human examiners of the medical chambers (Ärztekammern). And how you use the feedback for your learning is entirely up to you.

Cost/Bavaria note

FSP costs: compare exam, course, tutor, and online practice

What to separate realistically when looking at FSP fee, preparation cost, and hidden time cost.

4 minUpdated: 05 August 2026KostenGebührVergleich

Official fee

Bavaria: EUR 550 per the Government of Upper Bavaria
Set regionally, not nationwide

Preparation & travel

Courses, tutors, online practice: voluntary
Travel and time costs around the exam day

Three separate cost blocks: official exam fee, voluntary preparation, travel and time costs

Short answer

Exam fees, course costs, and practice costs are different items. Bavaria names 550 euros for FSP, but that is not a nationwide flat fee.

Stay regionally precise

Create three columns: official fee, preparation, travel/time. Do not mix them.

Evaluate preparation not only by price, but by real correction per FSP situation.

Context

Exam fee, course, tutor, online practice — it all quickly merges into one number in your head. That very blending makes cost planning pricier than it needs to be.

Three cost types rarely looked at separately

Government of Upper Bavaria: Approbation and FSP FAQ

The Government of Upper Bavaria currently states an FSP fee of EUR 550 for physicians – this is Bavaria-specific and must not be generalised nationwide. But this exam fee is only one of three cost blocks that many people mix up when planning.

The three columns in detail

First column: the official exam fee, set regionally. Second column: preparation such as courses, tutors, or online practice – voluntary and freely chosen. Third column: travel and time costs around the exam day.

This figure is Bavaria-specific and must not be generalised nationally.
Preparation costs such as courses, tutors, or online practice are not part of the official exam fee.

Why this separation actually helps

Anyone who mixes all three columns ends up comparing apples with oranges: an official fee with a voluntary course offer. Viewed separately, it becomes clearer where real room for decisions actually exists – the exam fee is practically non-negotiable, while preparation and travel planning do offer real choices.

Common misunderstandings

One misunderstanding: EUR 550 is the total price of FSP preparation. A second: more expensive preparation is automatically more effective – what matters is how much real, corrected language practice results per euro spent.

Next step

Fachsprachtrainer makes training cost predictable without replacing or claiming official chamber fees. Set up your three cost columns for your own planning today.
