During this WebTutorial, we focus on the recognition of foreign qualifications.

The first part of the tutorial is about “Working and Living in Germany”. The content includes the German job market, skills shortage, visa, social security system, application and job search, including the presentation of our services.

In the second part of the tutorial, we will go into detail about the recognition of foreign qualifications - academic and non-academic. We will give a rough outline how the process works and illustrate it with case studies.

The registration for the web-tutorial is free of charge.
