In total, the training comprises 2,100 hours of practical training and 1,740 hours of theoretical and practical instruction. The training is closely aligned with the LogAPrO (1980), the guidelines and specifications of the German Federal Association for Speech Therapy (dbl, 2010) and the competence profile for speech therapy (dbl, 2014).

A large part of the theory is taught by teaching speech therapists employed at the school, two psychologists and phoniatrics staff. External lecturers such as university physicians, lawyers, teachers and others are available for some of the theoretical subjects.

Unfortunately, this is not possible. Even if you have previously trained in another profession, you must complete the regular 3-year training course.
