Other information
Recognition of Vietnamese qualifications in Germany
Qualification recognition is the process of assessing and evaluating an individual’s educational background, professional qualifications, and work experience after completing a training program in their home country to determine the level of equivalence with the training and education standards in Germany.
Since April 2012, the Recognition Act has officially come into effect. Workers trained abroad have the right to submit applications for the recognition of their degrees and professional qualifications. The German Recognition Act has brought about clarity, and transparency, as well as opened better career prospects for Vietnamese workers in Germany.
