Recognition and career preparation for healthcare graduates

Assess how your education and experience relate to your intended profession in Germany.

Reviewed:

Qualifications in anaesthesia, radiology, emergency medical services, operating theatre services, physiotherapy/rehabilitation or nursing do not automatically lead to the same recognition outcome. The target profession, course content and competent authority’s assessment matter.

We support document preparation and career planning based on your diploma, transcript, experience and language level. The competent authority may require further training or assessment. Professional recognition and work/residence permission are separate matters.

  • Diploma and detailed transcript
  • Professional experience evidence
  • Target profession and competent authority
  • Language preparation and individual plan
