Anaesthesia technician from third countries Applying for permission to use the professional title
Source: BUS Rheinland-PfalzThe profession of anesthesia technician is regulated in Germany. This means that in order to be able to work as an anesthesia technical assistant in Germany, you need a state permit. With this permit, you may use the professional title "Anesthesia Technical Assistant" and work in the profession.
Even with a professional qualification from a so-called third country, you can obtain a state permit from the competent authority in Germany. Third countries are all countries that do not belong to the European Union (EU), the European Economic Area (EEA) or Switzerland. To obtain the permit, you must have your foreign professional qualification recognized.
In the recognition procedure, the competent body compares your professional qualification with the German professional qualification and checks the equivalence. The equivalence of the professional qualification is an important prerequisite for the granting of the state permit. In addition to the equivalence of the professional qualification, you must fulfill other requirements for the issuance of the permit. Further requirements are, for example, sufficient German language skills and health suitability.
If your professional qualification originates from the EU, the EEA or Switzerland, other regulations apply.
You can also submit the application for the procedure from abroad.
