What to check first
First define the target occupation and actual duties; recognition needs can depend on the occupational profile and residence route. Start with the goal, qualification, workplace and concrete personal or employer situation.

Documents and evidence
Training regulations, subjects, hours, final certificate and experience should be supported by detailed duty records.
