We think it is important that you know what to expect when you go through the procedures. Therefore you can schedule a personal appointment during one of the consultation hours. If a situation arises during the application process (or afterwards) that you cannot resolve yourself, it is also possible to make an appointment with one of our consultants.
Consultation hours
During a consultation of half an hour you can ask questions about your application or the documents to be submitted to an employee of Recognition Foreign Diplomas (“Erkenning Buitenlandse Diploma’s”). It is also possible to have your documents viewed. The appointment can take place with us in The Hague or online.
During the consultation, Dutch or English will be spoken. If you do not speak either of the languages, we recommend that you bring an interpreter with you.
For whom?
The consultation hour is for care providers who want to apply for a Certificate of Competence (“Verklaring van Vakbekwaamheid”) or a Recognition of Professional Qualifications (“Erkenning van Beroepskwalificaties”) and who are busy preparing the application. Have you already submitted an application and do you have questions about this current application? Please contact our information line.
