The website offers information about foreign vocational training systems and appropriate procedures and methods for evaluating them. Practical instructions and relevant examples show how vocational qualifications obtained abroad can be checked for their equivalence to their German counterparts. The BQ Portal focuses on non-academic vocational qualifications corresponding to the dual training system and the further training and master qualifications in Germany.
