Recognition of Foreign Qualifications in Germany

Start your career in Germany with recognized qualifications. Did you obtain your professional qualification and now wish to work in your learned profession in Germany? First of all, you need to know if your qualification is recognized in Germany.

Recognition of Foreign Qualifications in Germany

Due to the strong demand of qualified specialists in the German labor market, the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) is supporting the project for the Recognition of professional Qualifications (ProRecognition) in the German Chambers of Industry and Commerce currently in 9 Countries.

In the German-Arab Chamber of Industry and Commerce we offer free of charge consultations for all steps related to living and working in Germany, advice on recognition of professional and academic qualifications, job opportunities, recommended German language skills and visa consultations (for candidates seeking a visa for recognition of professional qualifications or work).

We focus on the Recognition of the professional Qualifications obtained in Egypt and we ensure personalized support during the procedures. This will allow skilled labour force to integrate more quickly in the German labour market. We also offer information about topics like visa procedures and living and working conditions in Germany.
