Applying for recognition of a foreign professional qualification in the field of home economics and family care


Procedure

You submit an application for equivalence assessment to the competent body. You must submit all the necessary documents in the form of copies to the competent body.

The competent body will then check: Is your foreign professional qualification equivalent to the professional qualification in the federal state? The competent body compares the qualifications using certain criteria. Important criteria are the content and duration of the training. The competent body also takes into account your professional experience, your other certificates of competence and qualifications when carrying out the equivalence check.

You will receive a notification with the result of the procedure. You will receive recognition if your professional qualification and the professional qualification in the federal state are equivalent.

Sometimes there are significant differences between the professional qualifications. The differences are listed in your notification. You can use this notification to obtain further qualifications and then submit a new application for equivalence assessment at a later date.

If your professional qualification is not equivalent at all, you will not receive recognition.
