The recognition of foreign qualifications can be a complex process. If you plan to work as a foreign doctor or nursing professional in Germany, it's crucial to prepare well for this process. In this blog post, we will show you what is generally required, how the recognition process works, and how you can successfully manage it.
First of all: What does "recognition" mean? In short, recognition is a process in which your foreign qualifications are compared to German standards. The aim is to determine whether your education and professional experience correspond to those required in Germany.
The process begins with the compilation of all necessary documents. These usually include your diplomas and certificates as well as proof of your professional experience. It's important that all documents are complete and correct to avoid delays.
Once you have compiled all the documents, they need to be sent to the relevant recognition authority. They will then review your documents and make a decision.
In case of full recognition, you can directly work in your profession in Germany. For some professions, language levels and possibly professional language skills may be required. However, if your qualifications are not fully recognized, you can undergo a so-called compensatory measure.
Professional consultation like ours can help you navigate this process and increase your chances of successful recognition.
