If you have obtained education or qualifications outside of Finland, you may need official recognition to work or continue your studies. This mainly applies to regulated professions such as doctors, teachers, engineers, etc., where qualification requirements are clearly defined by law.
How does it work?
- For education or employment: Usually, the employer or educational institution evaluates your education or qualification documents independently.
- For regulated professions: You may need an official decision from the Finnish National Agency for Education (EDUFI). This includes verifying that your education meets Finnish standards.
- Other cases: If your profession is not regulated by law, employers decide for themselves whether your qualifications meet the job requirements.
Where to get help?
- The official EDUFI website provides detailed information about qualification recognition procedures.
- If you want to compare your qualification with Finnish standards, use the relevant services on the same resource.
Benefits of recognition
- Official confirmation opens up more opportunities for employment and education.
- It increases your chances of competitive salary and better working conditions.
Start the process of recognizing your qualifications in advance, as it may take several months, depending on the complexity of your profession and the volume of documents.
