The recognition procedure refers to the fact that persons who have come from another country to have their professional qualifications acquired abroad can have their professional qualifications recognised here. This is important in order to be able to work in Germany in the relevant profession. The procedure checks whether the qualifications meet German standards.

Coaching can help in this context because it supports the migrant in successfully completing the recognition procedure. A coach can help to compile the necessary documents, the application and also help in preparing for possible examinations. The coaching is intended to facilitate the integration of migrants into the German labour market.
