Professional Recognition in Europe
Getting a Foreign Qualification Recognised to Work in Europe
How internationally-trained professionals get their qualifications recognised to work in Europe — the German medical Approbation, nurse recognition (Anerkennung), the anabin and ZAB/Zeugnisbewertung degree checks, and the EU system for recognising regulated professions.
Working in a regulated profession in Europe usually needs your foreign qualification recognised, which is different from studying and different from a simple degree evaluation. These guides explain the main recognition routes, using Germany (the largest market) as the worked example plus the EU-wide system.
Recognition bodies, tests and fees are set by each country/authority and change; confirm the current requirements on the official source. This is general information, not professional-recognition or immigration advice.
