The procedure at a glance
Understand comparability
The statement places a foreign qualification within French qualification levels. It does not turn it into a French diploma or guarantee employment. The receiving organization decides how to use the assessment.

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.
