Recognition of qualifications
Your qualification can open a door.
Recognition tells you under what conditions you can practise your profession in Germany.
Why recognition matters
In Germany, the conditions to practise depend on your profession, your qualification and your situation.
For many regulated professions, especially in healthcare, a procedure to recognise the foreign qualification is required before you can fully practise.
The competent authority reviews your qualification, your training, your work experience and the documents provided to determine whether your qualification meets German requirements.

Think about recognition from the start
A recognition procedure can take several months. Its length depends notably on the profession, the competent authority and the applicant's individual situation.
That is why we bring this step into your journey as early as possible. It makes the following stages easier to coordinate:
Our role
We do not decide on the equivalence of your qualification. That decision belongs to the competent authority in Germany. Our role is to help you identify the right procedure, prepare your file and anticipate the stages of your journey.
A well-prepared file saves time.
