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.

Bavarian wait time in context: application, regular 4 to 6 weeks, 3,557 exams in 2025, invitation

Short answer

BLÄK currently states a regular wait of 4 to 6 weeks and reports 3,557 exams conducted in 2025. This is not an individual appointment guarantee.

The published wait describes the current general situation, not your personal appointment. The recognition authority remains responsible.

Context

Four to six weeks — a figure that reassures and misleads at once, because it describes the situation in Bavaria, not the letter with your personal appointment.

BLÄK currently states a regular wait of 4 to 6 weeks and reports 3,557 exams conducted in 2025. This is not an individual appointment guarantee.

What BLÄK currently publishes

BLÄK: current wait times and exam volume

BLÄK currently states a regular wait of 4 to 6 weeks and reports 3,557 Fachsprachprüfung exams conducted in 2025. Both figures describe the general situation in Bavaria, not your personal appointment.

Why a published wait time is not an appointment promise

BLÄK: current wait times and exam volume Bavarian Medical Chamber: Fachsprachprüfung

According to BLÄK, direct registration with BLÄK is not possible; responsibility lies with the recognition authority. A published general situation can shift due to demand, capacity, or procedural changes.

Stay regionally precise

Use waiting time for full run-throughs, not only vocabulary lists.

Practise under 20-minute time boxes so a short-notice appointment does not become a format problem.

How to use waiting time well

Waiting time is the best opportunity for full run-throughs rather than more vocabulary lists. Practise under real 20-minute time boxes so a short-notice appointment does not catch you off guard. Anyone who fills the waiting period only with passive reading instead often only notices on exam day that active speaking and writing under time pressure is a different skill from mere comprehension.

Schedule one full mock exam per week, not only isolated drills.
Keep a short mistake list, so waiting time turns into progress, not idle time.

Common misunderstandings

One misunderstanding: 3,557 exams in 2025 says something about your individual chance of success – it is a volume figure, not a success statistic. A second: 4 to 6 weeks applies equally to every region – that is a Bavaria-specific figure.

Next step

Ask your recognition authority for the current status in your case, and plan your preparation so it could be finished even before an appointment is officially confirmed.

Practise FSP realistically now

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