Applying for recognition as a Markscheiderin or Markscheider with a professional qualification from abroad

Description

The profession of Markscheiderin or Markscheider is regulated in Germany. This means that you must prove a certain qualification in order to be allowed to work in the profession. If you have a foreign professional qualification as a Markscheider, you can work in this profession in the selected federal state under certain conditions.

To do this, you must submit an application with all the necessary documents to the competent state authority.

The competent state authority for mining compares your professional qualification from abroad with the professional qualification in the selected federal state and makes an equivalence determination.

You will receive feedback after your application has been reviewed.

If your professional qualification is equivalent and you meet all other requirements, you will be recognised as a Markscheider.

If you lack professional qualifications for recognition, the notification will state the main differences. You can then make a compensatory measure.
