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.

    Again, thanks for the replies. I'm in the group, but read more than I post. Unfortunately my experience of FB has been that some people tend to write answers to questions they don't fully understand, hence the post here in communities. Sensible answers rather than "Karen from Marketing" putting her tuppance! Thank you both though and Alec, I have a relative who works for Siemens - he's asked within his HR department; as an international company, they're not interested in the conversion of qualifications, unless they're from countries where the education system is known to be "lacking" compared to European norms. I shall wait and see what the Bezirksregierung comes back with, but until then, continue to apply for jobs where I feel I fit the job description.
