What this calculator uses

The inputs on this page are Country where you want to work, Profession, Purpose. The calculation uses the values you enter for Country where you want to work, Profession, Purpose and returns the planning output described by the tool.

How to read the result

The national recognition service can direct you to the correct regulator. The tool does not decide whether a profession is regulated in your exact case.

What the number does not prove

A planning comparison is not a formal recognition decision. Verify the awarding institution, qualification and purpose with the destination recognition authority or professional regulator.

Best next step

Use the result to identify the correct recognition path and authority. Keep academic admission, formal qualification recognition and professional licensing as separate decisions.

Verify the governing ruleThis page explains a planning method, not a universal licensing rule. If your credential has a mandatory total, category, provider, or reporting rule, use the issuing authority as the final source.
Important: This is a planning aid. Universities, scholarship providers, immigration authorities, recognition bodies and professional regulators control their own decisions and changing requirements.
