Recognition of foreign educational qualifications in Thuringia for the skilled trades (application for equivalence determination)
Service Description
Since April 1, 2012, professional qualifications acquired abroad can be recognized or equated via the "Act to Improve the Determination and Recognition of Professional Qualifications Acquired Abroad". As part of an assessment procedure, foreigners can have the equivalence of their foreign professional qualification determined with a German qualification, which entitles them to practice certain professions. For professions in the skilled trades, the local chambers of skilled trades are responsible for carrying out equivalence assessment procedures.
