Meanwhile, others can also register for the German language examination held at the government’s centre.</p>.<p>The Karnataka Vocational Training and Skill Development Corporation (KVTSDC) has tied up with the German Agency for International Healthcare Professionals (DeFa) for this initiative.</p>.<p>Karnataka Skill Development Corporation Managing Director Nagaraja N M said, “After we submitted a proposal for the examination centre, a team from Germany visited the Karnataka Technical Training Institute in Bengaluru where we are planning to set up the centre, and took stock of the facilities. We are waiting for approval from the authorities concerned.”</p>.British, French, German foreign ministers condemn Israel's Qatar strikes.<p>KVTSDC officials said that healthcare workers could register for German, Japanese, Italian, Spanish and English language lessons till the end of October. Workers can enrol in these courses for free, said officials.</p>.<p>“More than 800 nurses have enrolled in our free training programmes.
