Processing process

Processing process

1- Presentation (in person or online) of the application for recognition along with the required documentation. 2 - If the certificate or training qualification submitted has been issued by a competent authority from a Member State, accredits the holder’s competence to practise the profession concerned and attests to a level of professional qualification at least equivalent to the level immediately above that required in Spain, in accordance with the qualification levels set out in Article 19 of Royal Decree 581/2017 of 9 June, the Spanish competent authority will recognise the applicant’s professional qualification and allow access to and the exercise of the profession concerned. 3 - The Spanish competent authority may invite the applicant to provide information on their training to the extent necessary to determine whether there are substantial differences with respect to the required national training. 4 - If the profession is not regulated in the country of origin: In this case, in accordance with Article 21.2 of Royal Decree 581/2017 of 9 June, the applicant must prove that they have practised the profession on a full-time basis for 1 YEAR or on a part-time basis for an equivalent period during the previous ten years in another Member State in which this profession is not regulated, provided that they hold one or more certificates of competence or one or more training qualifications issued by another Member State which does not regulate this profession. These certificates of competence or training qualifications must have been issued by a competent authority in a Member State designated in accordance with the laws, regulations or administrative provisions of that State and must attest the holder’s qualifications for the pursuit of the profession in question. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the abovementioned one year’s professional experience may not be required if the evidence of training qualifications held by the applicant certifies regulated training. 5 - However, compensatory measures may be required of the applicant in the form of a traineeship over a maximum of three years or an aptitude test in the following cases: a) When the training received corresponds to subjects substantially different from those passed in order to obtain the qualification required in Spain. b) When the regulated profession in Spain comprises one or more regulated professional activities that do not exist in the corresponding profession in the Member State of origin and this difference is characterised by specific training required in Spain, which extends to subjects substantially different from those covered by the certificate attesting to a competence or the applicant’s training qualification (see Article 22.1b) of RD 581/2017). However, it is up to the applicant to choose between the traineeship and the aptitude test.
