Your STEPS to becoming a recognised specialist in Germany:
- Examination of qualification certificates: we check your qualification for compatibility with a German reference occupation or qualification free of charge and inform you of the result. Please contact us and we will tell you which documents we need for the examination.
- Recognition of foreign educational qualifications: we coordinate the recognition process (process duration: 2 - 3 months). Upon completion, you will receive a certificate of recognition attesting to the equivalence of your qualification. During this time, you will complete an online German course for which we will register you.
- Direct placement: you will be employed in a field of activity corresponding to your qualification. You sign a direct employment contract with the employer. We arrange a video interview beforehand so that you can get to know the company.
- Visa to start work: you will receive all the documents and evidence you need to apply for a German work visa.
- Onboarding programme: during the first three months of employment, we will support you on site - picking you up when you arrive, accompanying you when you go to the authorities, registering you and enrolling you in the social security system.
Process duration:
The total process duration depends largely on the type of qualification and the country of origin and can vary between 3 - 6 months. If you do not require recognition of your educational qualification, the process duration is reduced to 1-3 months.

- Official employment as a recognised skilled worker or specialist in Germany
