Vielen Dank! I was already studying German with the goal to get back up to A2 (where I was when I last was learning German a few years back). But thanks to this video I was able to find out I NEED B2 to be an engineer. This will motivate me to work harder on my studies!

Long waited content, Thank you, great video!
I think it will also be helpful for people video about filling comparability form of ZAB, because some fields in this form are not clear what they asking. Yesterday, for example, my friend did not know what to fill into input field (where text needs to be typed) labeled as "Secondary school qualification required for university admission*". And as I read now, as of January 1, 2024 ZAB is not giving equivalence certificates for vocational training certificates.

Also, what I would like to add to it is, I think ZAB doing good job at improving their service. 4 years ago when I applied for the comparability for my Turkish Diploma. At that time all form fields were in german (now the website is available in en and uk as well), they accepted diploma and other related documents in german and english languages.

2 years ago when my friend applied for the comparability they started accepting documents in their original language (russian, turkish ...). For Turkish diploma they did not even want certified diploma copy, instead diploma with digital signature was enough (which you can get for free in a minute).

Currently, it is awesome, if (as you said) they accept digital versions of all documents for the application.

The recognition of a specific degree is quite tricky because it states that it may happen that no degrees exist for a degree type. In this case, you can use the information on the degree type, which you can find using the 'search for degree types' search mask.

Really appreciating work resolved many people confusion including me

[ericbwolf]

The website for getting a degree recognized is in English but the login is through bundID which is mostly in English but also does some pop-ups only in German.
Also, it's important to note that you can apply on ZAB for expedited recognition if you are applying for a Blue Card at the same time. But, the Blue Card application is completely separate.

Hey, when you found your university it's easier to scroll down to specialities, open your speciality and print it, than go to another page
