Separate study and professional rules

Education institutions decide admission independently. Regulated professions, including certain health professions, have specific authorization procedures. Check whether comparability serves your purpose before applying.

Common mistake

Confusing comparability with permission to practise.

Documents and translations

Usually prepare identity, the diploma and information about course content or duration. Accepted formats, languages and further evidence follow official rules. Check requirements before ordering translations.

Common mistake

Promising automatic equivalence.

Apply and follow up

Use the platform linked by France Éducation international. Check current fees and possible exceptions, submit legible files and keep messages. Incomplete applications or qualifications outside the service’s scope may prevent assessment.

Common mistake

Translating before checking accepted languages.
