Procedure details

If you would like to provide training in a commercial, industrial or service occupation without holding a qualification in this occupation or a higher qualification, you will need to obtain recognition of professional aptitude from the Chambers of Industry and Commerce.

  • and has worked for an appropriate period of time in his or her profession.

  • Certificate of employment
  • Job references

The application for recognition of professional aptitude (available from the Chambers of Industry and Commerce and Chambers of Crafts) must be submitted to the relevant chamber together with the required documents.

approx. EUR 63 per training occupation
