Qualification recognition consultation

Foreign qualifications rarely transfer into German employment on paper alone. Employers, chambers, and licensing bodies look for a specific recognition route — full equivalence, partial recognition with compensatory measures, or confirmation that your occupation is not regulated.

This consultation starts with your actual certificates and work history, not a generic checklist. We identify whether your target role sits under a regulated profession, which authority is competent in your intended federal state, and which documents must be complete before an application is worth filing.

You leave with a pathway summary you can reuse when speaking with employers, the IHK FOSA, state recognition offices, or professional chambers. Where partial recognition is likely, we outline typical compensatory options such as adaptation periods or knowledge tests so you can plan time and finances realistically.
