Service description
Recognition of foreign professional qualifications - Public Servants - career field of the general administrative service
The exercise of sovereign powers and the fulfilment of state tasks in Germany are predominantly carried out by persons who are employed as civil servants in a special public-law service and loyalty relationship.
The following career branches are possible in the career specialisation of the general administrative service:
Procedure:
The following career branches are possible in the career specialisation of the general administrative service:
- Career branch non-technical administrative service: e.g. activities in the registry office, in personnel processing, in procurement and in the examination and processing of applications to public service providers.
- Career branch archives service: e.g. file holdings and other records are assessed for their historical significance, catalogued and made permanently accessible to academia and the interested public.
Procedure:
- You submit an application for recognition of your professional qualification as a career qualification for the career specialisation of the general administrative service; for one of the above-mentioned career branches of the State of Berlin to the Senate Department responsible for Finance as the competent authority. You can submit the application by post or online. Please complete the application and send all the necessary documents with it. You will receive a confirmation of receipt.
- The competent authority will determine whether your qualification can be assigned to the qualification for the career specialisation and to a career segment of the career paths of the Land Berlin.
- If the qualification can be assigned, the competent authority compares the preliminary and training requirements for the career qualification with your qualification certificates. If the authority determines that there is a qualification deficit, it must be checked whether this can be compensated for. In doing so, it must be examined whether the knowledge, skills and competences acquired following the acquisition of the qualification within the scope of your previous professional practice or through lifelong learning, which have been formally recognised as valid for this purpose by a relevant body, can compensate for the deficit in whole or in part.
- In the case of a qualification deficit that cannot be compensated, recognition is dependent on passing an aptitude test or successfully completing an adaptation course.
- The decision on the application shall be made in writing. With the successful completion of the recognition procedure, the qualification for the career branch and the respective career segment is acquired. It is possible that the career qualification is only recognised for certain tasks or offices (partial access).
- If the requirements for the recognition of the qualification are not met, you will receive a decision against which you have legal remedies according to the Administrative Court Code (objection procedure, if necessary legal action).
- Recognition for a career branch of the Berlin state service is not associated with the placement of a job; you can apply for advertised positions.
