What Margaretenhort Ggmbh does

AfP-Akademie für Pflege gGmbH is a Berlin-based, AZAV-certified, state-recognized nursing school operating as part of the Pflegewerk-Gruppe. Founded circa 2023 and led by managing director Simone Dors, the academy delivers vocational training and continuing education for the German healthcare sector. Its core offering is an 18-month Pflegefachassistenz (nursing assistant) program combining 1,000 hours of theoretical instruction at the Berlin-Marzahn campus (Blumberger Damm 231) with 1,200 hours of practical training coordinated through partner healthcare facilities. Cohort intake occurs twice yearly (May 1 and November 1).

The academy operates a portfolio of four programs: the flagship Pflegefachassistenz training, the Kompetenzfeststellungsverfahren (competency assessment that can shorten training by up to six months), the Externenprüfung (external examination pathway for prior trainees), and Fort- und Weiterbildungen (continuing education seminars, including in-house training at partner facilities). Delivery combines in-person classroom instruction at the Berlin-Marzahn site with digital learning tools, an online application portal, and an absence-reporting system. The registered headquarters is in Hoppegarten OT Hönow (Mahlsdorfer Straße 61b), with an additional general office referenced at Wisbyer Straße 16/17, Berlin.

The business model is a B2B-enabled professional services structure. Students cannot enroll directly; they must be registered by an Ausbildungsbetrieb (training company), typically a healthcare employer such as a hospital, ambulatory care service, or long-term care facility, which pays the student a monthly training allowance. Revenue accrues through training contracts with these partner facilities, supported by AZAV certification enabling access to publicly funded vocational training programs (SGB III pathway). Geographic scope is currently limited to Berlin, with a Hamburg service page suggesting preparatory infrastructure for geographic expansion. Customers are segmented into aspiring Pflegefachassistent*innen (B2C via B2B channel), Ausbildungsbetriebe (B2B anchor relationships), and currently employed Pflegefachkräfte (continuing education).
