What CBG Christliches Bildungsinstitut für Gesundheitsberufe Kassel does

CBG Christliches Bildungsinstitut für Gesundheitsberufe gGmbH is a private, Diakonie-affiliated vocational training institute headquartered in Kassel, Germany, that delivers state-recognized nursing education. Founded in 2001, it operates from a single campus on Mündener Straße and runs a three-year Pflegefachfrau/Pflegefachmann program plus an 18-month Pflegefachassistent/in program (first intake planned September 2027). Theoretical instruction is delivered tuition-free on campus in modern, technology-equipped rooms; practical training is provided through long-standing clinical partnerships with regional hospital groups, principally AGAPLESION Diakonie Kliniken Kassel, MARIEN-ELISABETH-KLINIKEN Kassel, and DRK Kliniken Nordhessen, with partner employers paying student training allowances.

The institute's revenue model relies primarily on fee-based, DKG-certified continuing education for working nurses across specialties (Intensiv- und Anästhesiepflege, Notfallpflege, Praxisanleiter, Geriatrie via ZERCUR, leadership, and outpatient intensive care), plus likely AZAV-related public funding for the initial training track. Its technology stack is intentionally lean: MyIKE for trainee administration and a Moodle-based LMS for continuing education participants, both accessed via the cbg-net.de domain. Credentials include AZAV certification as a training provider and DSG-EKD / GDPR compliance as a Diakonie member.

Operationally, CBG is a small organization (8 employees) under managing director Ina Bäcker, with an active alumni and employer ecosystem anchored by its Förderverein. Its value proposition rests on combining a Christian, Diakonie-rooted educational ethos with regulatory credibility (state recognition, AZAV, DKG-certified courses) and tight integration into the Kassel-region hospital network. The business model effectively monetizes continuing education and government training funding rather than charging tuition to nursing students.
