Recognition in Germany / Anerkennung in Deutschland

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.

  • Good advice from Rob. Thinking about it, does it really matter what the Bezirksregierung thinks? International companies don't need to be told about qualifications and even the famous German Mittelstand is much more outward-looking than it used to be. I'm not even sure that "Ingenieur" as opposed to "Diplom-Ingenieur" is a recognized prenomial.
