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.

The exam day in sequence: admission and waiting, three exam parts, result after the exam

Short answer

In Bavaria, BLÄK says you should plan 2.5 to 3 hours for the exam day including waiting time.

Context

The language exam itself lasts an hour — the exam day, considerably longer. Plan only for the 60 minutes and you underestimate the waiting, the arriving, and the nerves beforehand.

Why the day takes longer than the exam itself

Bavarian Medical Chamber: Fachsprachprüfung

BLÄK usually describes the exam with 60 minutes of actual exam time. But for the exam day in Bavaria, 2.5 to 3 hours including waiting time should be planned – the organisational frame is noticeably larger than the actual language part.

The result is communicated after the exam.

What actually happens in that time

Bavarian Medical Chamber: Fachsprachprüfung

Admission, identity check, waiting outside the room, the three exam parts, and then the notice that the result is announced after the exam – not directly in the room.

How to prepare correctly the day before

Pack administrative documents separately and warm up linguistically with short sentences. The day before, do not learn new lists; practise one calm, full run-through instead – that calms you more than additional new material.

Prepare documents and confirmations the evening before.
Practise one calm, complete run-through instead of new topics.

Common misunderstandings

One misunderstanding: the result is announced directly in the room after the last part. A second: 2.5 to 3 hours is pure exam time – in fact most of it is waiting and organisation.

Regional note and next step

These time figures come from Bavaria; other regions may have different procedures. Next step: simulate one full mock exam including short waiting phases, so the real day is not your first complete run-through.

Practise FSP realistically now

Practise history-taking, documentation, doctor-doctor conversation, and terminology in an exam-like flow.
