This will help you to avoid errors in your application and delays in processing. The following points are clarified during the consultation:
Do you already have some documents in German? Then please bring them with you. During the consultation you will find out whether you need to have further documents translated for your application. The application must then be submitted informally in writing to the Bavarian School of Administration together with the required documents. The Bavarian School of Administration will decide on the application as the responsible body.
The fees are based on the fee regulations of the Bavarian Administrative School and depend on the individual effort required to carry out the procedure. Costs of between EUR 35.00 and EUR 1500.00 may be incurred.
Possible additional costs: e.g. for translations, certifications, adaptation qualifications or examination fees
The recognition procedure is usually completed within three months. Missing evidence and documents lead to delays.

Please note that sufficient knowledge of German is required for this profession in order to be able to differentiate between requirement, recommendation, admissibility and possibility. The qualification of master craftsmen/mistresses includes the ability to train the relevant skilled workers.
