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.

    Hi Richard,


    Many thanks for your reply. I’ve been through much the same process myself, although am still waiting to hear back from the Bezirksregierung in Detmold. My claim to the title of Ingenieur is predominantly based on my experience on my CV and my recognition as IEng. I included my BSc(Hons) in Engineering Management as well, and I’ve been told that it may not be recognised (although the mention of The Bologna rules seemed to sort that). 


    As Alec has pointed out above, I may simply give up on trying to get recognition, as a lot of the larger companies recognise most Western European qualifications without translations. I even had my first rejection letter yesterday for being over qualified, which is something I didn’t expect to happen!
