Recognition in Germany / Anerkennung in Deutschland

James Dieterle
Hi all,


I'm a soldier in the British Army, undergoing resettlement and will be living in Paderborn. I'm having one or two issues with documentation - the main problem is that of having my qualifications recognised. I've been through the usual channels of Anerkennung in Deutschland and am currently waiting to hear back from the local Bezirksregierung, regarding my IEng registration. The person who deals with recognition of foreign qualifications and certificates has told me she's new in the job, and doesn't know what that would equate to.


After a 25 year career as an electronics engineer, I'm quite keen to ensure that I enter the job market at the same level I'm currently working at, and so would appreciate any advice or experience that anyone here can offer. I've already mention the EU Directive 2005/36 Annex I, and even emailed that to the local Bezirksregierung, but I'm still waiting to hear a response.


Please feel free to reply in either German or English.

    Alexander,


    Thank you for your reply. I applied the the Bezirksregierung with the hope that I would be considered under the EU regulations before the transition period came to an end. However, I appear to be experiencing exactly what you’ve suggested!


    My IEng recognition has been awarded through experience and my military apprenticeship, which is very difficult to translate into a format understandable in Germany. I have my fingers crossed that the Bezirksregierung will eventually recognise me as an Ingenieur, but in the meantime, I will be forced to rely on my CV, which will hopefully be sufficient. 


    I am immensely proud of my military service and of the qualifications and experience I have gained whilst serving. Our use of post-nominals in the UK remains on my Lebenslauf and so far has been a conversation starter. 


    Again, thanks for your reply and if I am accepted as an Ingenieur, I’ll post here and let you know.
