Agewise, you are much within the limit as most program-providing employers accept applications from those below 30. But since you are a engineer already and intending to pursue nursing now might make the program provider to think twice. The onus will be yours to convince them.

Dear Seleni,
The requirements to study nursing in Germany are 12th grade passed under a national curriculum and at least one year of BSc nursing studies at a university in your country or wherever you reside, in addition to a C1 level in German.
Suppose you want to go with your 12th-grade high school qualification alone. In that case, you must start with a Medical Foundation Year in Germany before finally being accepted to a BSc nursing degree program.
In this case, you can go to Germany and start attending the language course to continue learning from whatever level of language you have while arriving in Germany.
If you have followed the Cambridge curriculum and have A-Levels completed in the relevant subjects, you need C1 level German language to meet the requirements to study nursing in Germany.
okay, thank you. I have my International Edxcel Advanced level. How can i start applying through your agency?
Thank you.
Hello, I am John from Kenya. I am 35 years and would love to study nursing in German. At my age am I eligible for the Ausbildung nursing program?
Hello John,
You can prepare well and apply but most employers look for new trainees under 30 years of age. But there is no age limit set by the Government for Ausbildung. It depends the program providing employers.
Alternatively, if you can afford a blocked account with enough funds to maintain your cost of living in Germany, you may migrate first, learn the language in a German environment in Germany, and your chances would be better.
