Professional recognition means: A foreign professional qualification is basically equivalent to a German professional qualification. For professional recognition, you must go through the recognition process. At the end you will receive an official notification. It says whether your professional qualification is recognized in Germany or is partially recognized.
The recognition always takes place for a specific German occupation, the so-called reference occupation.
In Germany you have the right to a recognition procedure. The basis for this is the Federal Recognition Act and laws in the federal states. You can also apply for recognition from abroad.
The requirements for a recognition procedure are:

The recognition procedure is carried out by the so-called competent body. The competent authority compares your professional qualification with the German professional qualification. It also takes your professional experience and other qualifications into account.
