Professional Practice

Submit a copy of your original qualification certificate along with any appendices that detail the content and scope of your qualification (e.g., diploma supplement or transcript of records).

If you have been licensed to practice your profession in a country other than Finland, provide a certificate issued by the competent foreign authority. The certificate must:

• Be no more than three months old.
• Indicate that the license is valid and not subject to any restrictions.
• Include certificates from all countries where you have been licensed to practice. These can be submitted as originals or as copies.

If you cannot provide the certificate mentioned in point 3, you must submit evidence that practitioners of this profession are not registered in the country in question. This proof must be issued by the competent authority of the said country or provided through other reliable means.

Submit certified translations of the aforementioned documents into Finnish, Swedish, or English. Translations must be completed by a translator certified or authorized in Finland or another EU/EEA member state. These may be submitted as originals or copies.

If your professional training or general education was completed in a language other than Finnish or Swedish, submit a copy of your National Certificate of Language Proficiency or Civil Service Language Proficiency Certificate. This must be provided no later than when signing up for your first examination test.
