INTRODUCTION
The current study, like other similar analysis comparative studies of the processes of
competences certification and recognition of qualifications in Italy, Spain, Germany,
Netherlands, United Kingdom and Czech Republic, is one of the results of the "Network of
Competent Authorities for qualification in Romania (IMI PQ NET Romania) " project,
implemented by the Ministry of National Education (MEN) in partnership with the National
Qualifications Authority (NCA) and the Institute for Social Policy (IPS), co-financed by the
European Social Fund through the Sectoral Operational Programme Human Resources
Development 2007 - 2013 (SOP HRD).
The general objective of the "Network of Competent Authorities for qualification in
Romania (IMI PQ NET Romania)" project is to create and strengthen the IMI network
(Internal Market Information) for professional qualifications in Romania (IMI PQ NET) in
order to support the EC initiative on the development of the Internal Market Information
system, the development of joint initiative in this respect, at national level, aimed at
strengthening social partners capacity (government agencies and organizations, professional
associations) aiming to promote sustainable development through the creation of appropriate
tools and communication channels and mutual consultation, in order to achieve efficient
communication with similar organizations in the European Union and European Economic
Area (EEA) through the IMI platform.
In order to achieve the general objective, MEN (Ministry of National Education), as
beneficiary of the project, aims to achieve the following specific objectives
- OS1 – Creating and developing a national network with the purpose of supporting the
implementation of the Internal Market Information system (IMI). In this regard we propose
the consolidation of the social partners’ capacity through creating new communication and
reciprocal consolidation channels;

- OS2 – Developing and implementing some common reference terms regarding the
certification standards of the Romanian workers and of recognition of the professional
qualifications of the community citizens;
- OS3 – Involvement of the members of the Network in the exchange of information
intermediated by the IMI platform through the provision of information / data at the requests
addressed through this platform by the organizations / associations from EU/EEA;
In order to realise the comparative studies, the ANC methodological experts have
researched external sources of information at national level (of the country analyzed and
Romania) and community level (comparative studies conducted in the European Union) and
participated to study visits in several Member States (MS) of the EU, where they had the
opportunity to complete their documentation work by exchanging experiences with
representatives of the competent authorities on various professions regulated in those
countries.
The ultimate goal of the studies conducted for the benefit of the IMI PQ NET network
members, as well as of the study visits aim at achieving the specific objectives of the project,
the creation of channels of communication and mutual consultation between members of both
within the national network and also between them and their counterparts in the visited EU
MS, for development and implementation of common terms of reference on standards of
competence certification and recognition of professional qualifications (by taking and
adapting the best practice examples and to better understand them during study visits), of
strengthening the capacity of IMI PQ NET Romania network members to get involved in
information exchange intermediated by IMI platform.
This comparative study was conducted on the basis of a documentation made by
studying some sources of information at the national level (of the analyzed country and
Romania) and at community level (the comparative studies carried out by specialized
institutions in the European Union / CEDEFOP, ETF, etc. ). The study aims to be a useful
instrument for the personnel employed by the competent authorities but also for the citizens
that want to know the situation of regulated professions in Denmark and possibilities for
recognition of qualifications obtained in Romania.

I - The process of competences certification in Denmark
1.1 The education system in Denmark
The Danish education system provides high quality education and training at all levels6, as
shown in Figure 1 which shows the structure of the education system in Denmark. Unlike
Romania, where the compulsory education is of 10 years (primary and lower secondary level)
[2], in Denmark this is 9 years. Pre-school education, which is optional, is followed by nine
years of compulsory education in primary and lower secondary school. There is also an
optional tenth grade. Upper secondary education system includes a range of opportunities.
Academic programs allow students entering the higher education. Professional programs are
targeted for the direct entry into the labor market, but also allow access to higher education.
General upper secondary education and vocational upper secondary education
In Denmark, upper secondary education programs (ISCED 3), referred to as youth education
programs can be divided into:
• general upper secondary education programs that prepare, primarily for higher education.
• secondary vocational education and training Programs, that prepare, primarily, trainees for a
career in a particular field of industry.
There are four general upper secondary academically oriented programs:
3-year upper secondary school - high school (STX);
3-year Higher Commercial Examination (HHX)
3-year Higher Technical Examination (HTX)
2-year Higher Preparatory Examination (HF)
All four programs prepare the students for continuing studies, and, at the same time, develop
personal and general competences. The programs aims at improving independent and
analytical competences, as well as preparation students to become social conscious
democratic citizens and with a global perspective.

Each of the educational programs has a specific range of compulsory subjects that are
common to all students who attend the program. As regard the STX, HHX and HTX, each
school also offers a number of different specialized studies adapted to the program (packages
normally contain three subjects) and subjects chosen by the students. Specialized studies
program has a duration longer than the basic program.
As regards the HF program, the students choose among optional disciplines offered by the
school.
The curriculum and examinations must meet national standards and are subject to external
evaluation. The HHX and HTX curriculum differ from those of STX and HF, meaning that in
addition to HHX, to some general upper secondary discipline is added also orderly financial
and business discipline, as well as technical subjects (the HTX).
The STX and HF programs are offered by the general upper secondary schools. This type of
school is called Gimnazium. Business and technical colleges offer the HHX and HTX
programs. There are some mixed schools offering different types of programs. Admission
requirements for the STX, HHX and HTX are a graduation certificate of the folkeskole, as
well as certain requirements concerning certain disciplines. For HF, admission requirements
are 10 years of basic school or the equivalent. The STX, HHX and HTX are organized for
young people between 16-19 years, while HF attracts both young and adults. The HF
program can be accessed on a single basis, and is also handed in evening classes.

Fig. no.1-structure of education and professional training in Denmark
Starting with the 2010/2011 academic year, a new youth program - EUX is provided to the
students. This is a general upper secondary education program in which students can
participate in education and vocational training, while graduating their vocational training
type program. Not all VET programs are able to offer this combination. The program will be
tailored to fit each of the education and vocational training programs in terms of duration and
subjects. EUX provides general access to higher education.
Some key figures for education and training in Denmark [12]
• 82% of the cohort of young people complete their upper secondary general or vocational
education (38% are graduates of vocational and technical education-IVET)
• 44% of the cohort of young people completing higher education
• 30% of the workforce participates annually in adult education, publicly funded
• 60% of employees participate annually in training and on the job training (formal and non-
formal)

• The total expense of the state for education and training in 2009 was 7.1% of GDP, or 16
billion euros, of which about 1 billion euros for adult education and training
Education and Vocational Training (VET)
Education and Vocational Training (VET) includes a wide range of programs. The duration
varies from 1.5 up to 5 years and a half, typically being 3.5 - 4 years. VET programs are
sandwich type, in which theoretical and practical education at a vocational college (about 1/3
of the time) alternate with practical training in a company or authorized organization (about
2/3 of the time). This training principle provides participants acquiring theoretical, practical,
general and personal abilities, which are required on the labour market.
Education and vocational training consists of a basic course and a main course. The basic
course is flexible in time and depends on individual qualifications previous. The typical
duration of the base course is between 20 and 25 weeks, followed by the main course which
is based on the principle of the alternation. It usually takes 3 to 3.5 years, but it can be shorter
or longer for certain programs. In order to complete the main course, the VET student must
have a training agreement with an authorized company which provide training. The
agreement may cover all or parts of the basic course, but it is mandatory for the main course.
The VET programs are finalized, normally, with an apprentice test or similar examination
testing the professional qualifications and knowledge.
In Denmark, unlike Romania, are provided numerous opportunities for young people to
access vocational and technical education. It is noteworthy the system flexibility and the
ability to adapt to student needs. Most young people begin the VET program with the initial
basic program at a vocational college but some students choose to start with a training period
in the company before entering into the main program. Also, those who prefer practical
training before attending school can start their training in a company that provides practical
training. The student enters into a training agreement with a company and during the first
year it must acquire knowledge and qualifications identical to those who have followed the

same basic program at a college. This requires a flexible adaptation to the trainees, the
company and the college.
There are 11 sectoral committees that contribute to the vocational training program in the
workplace:
1. Commerce and Communication
2. Buildings and Construction
3. Common industry
4.Metal Industry
5.Agriculture
6.Wood industry
7. Services
8. Restaurants, hotels and meat industry
9. Plant and Energy
10. Education, health and social work
11. Transport
For admission to education and vocational training programs it is necessary the completion of
compulsory education. All internship programs benefit of internship for entering the labour
market as qualified workers. In addition, some programs can benefit from internships for
admission to certain higher education programs.
Basic education and vocational training (EGU)
A special option for young people in a difficult situation (education and employment) is the
basic vocational training program (EGU). EGU is an individually designed program focused
on a particular area, or composed of elements of several occupations / programs. EGU
alternates between school periods and periods of practical training in one or more companies.
Emphasis is placed on practical training and an individual program is designed for each
student according to their needs and interests. Internships are offered individually during the
entire program, for guidance. EGU is an alternative or sandwich type training program in
which the practical training is combined with relevant topics provided in the school, a
program of 1 ½-3-years in which the school program lasts between 20 and 40 weeks. In most

cases, students completed EGU after two years but it may be extended by up to one year. A
complete EGU provides access to jobs and also allows students to continue a vocational
training program.
Higher education includes:
In higher education it is used the ECTS system, 60 ECTS corresponding to one academic
year.
There are 4 types of higher education institutions:
Higher Education Academy (erhvervsakademier) - offering programs of 90-150 ECTS in
fields such as business, technology, IT. These activities prepare students for practical
activities, professional, which lead to employability in medium management positions. If it
continues with a program of 90 credits it can be obtained the bachelor's degree.
University College - offers bachelor programs of 180-240 ECTS in fields such as business,
education, engineering, health care. They have a strong practical load and include an
internship (practical training in company) period of 30 credits. They provide access to further
studies.
Universities - they are research-oriented institutions and develop programs in all 3 cycles
degree (BSc / BA) (180 credits), Master (MSc / MA) of 120 ECTS, Ph.D. 180 ECTS
University- level institutions. There are a number of institutions covered by the Danish
Ministry of Culture which offers programs on the 3 cycles in the artistic and musical field.

Danish higher education system is binary and makes distinction between academic education
and higher vocational education. Academic education is based on a distinction between
multidisciplinary research universities and specialized institutions with programs in areas
such as art, music and architecture.
Vocational higher education institutions makes distinction between the one offering short-
term programs (Erhvervsakademier, professional academies) and institutions providing long-
term programs (Professionshøjskole / Academic Colleges). Professional Academies offers 15
programs lasting for 2 years especially in commercial and technical fields. CVU - University
College offers approximately 20 programs lasting for 3.5-4 years ago in the following fields:
engineering, education, welfare, the arts and health care.

Students with diploma type STX, HF, HHX, HTX meet the criteria for admission to both
higher education type. Some specializations and some programs require an entrance exam or
portfolio of artworks.
In addition, many vocational education programs of 3-4 years may allow access to higher
professional education programs. The access may also depend on specific requirements, such
as choosing a specific discipline of study in the upper secondary education or a certain level
of the graduation grade.
In conclusion, the comparative analysis of education and vocational training systems of the
two countries one can notice the diversity of the offers of vocational training at both upper
secondary and tertiary level (universities). The existence of vocational education offered in
professional academies or colleges, possibility of access differentiated from secondary
vocational training offers young people opportunities to diverse forms of training and rapid
adaptation to market demands.

1.2 Adult Education in Denmark: systems and trends
Denmark currently is working on strengthening and extending the structural changes
that have been implemented since 2009. The function of Adult Continuing Education Council
(ACE), established in 2009, is to advise the Ministry of Education on important issues for the
field of continuing education and adult education. In May 2010, the Council issued a booklet
"Strategiske fokusområder" (Strategic Focus Areas), which included a forecast which
estimated that within a few years Denmark will face a shortage of skilled workers (with
relevant competences) and simultaneous layoffs among unskilled workers. In 2011, the
Council conducted a follow-up of this work which focuses on the digitization of adult
education and continuing education, on its links with economic and employment policies of
the labour force, and on increasing the supply of AMU training (training for labour market).
Adult education and training in Denmark include general and professional
qualifications as well as non-formal education activities. A wide range of training
opportunities exist for adults in Denmark, both in formal education as well as non-formal
adult learning (AE). General Adult Education Law no. 311 of 30 April 2008 the Ministry of
Education regulates the general educational programs.
Adult vocational training programs have been developed for low skilled workers (unskilled)
and skilled workers. Training programs addressing both employees and residents. Workers
and employees of both private and public sector can participate in these programs.
The unemployed and adults who are not part of the labour force can also participate in
these programs, but funding varies depending on the category in which the applicant is
included. The unemployed, at their request, may benefit from a combination of adult training
programs with a duration of six weeks.
In Figure no.2 are shown in parallel the main system of education, adult vocational
education, general adult education and non-formal adult education in Denmark. Vocational

training for the labour market is the responsibility of the Ministry of Children and Education
which is advised by the Council for Adult and Continuous Education and the 11 sectoral
committees (see Figure 3).

Formal adult education (AE)
The AE formal system includes both formal AE vocational training and AE general training,
including:
- Special education for adults with physical or mental disabilities
- Danish Language Courses as a Second Language
- Preparatory Courses AE (FVU): read and write, simple calculation, arithmetic and
basic mathematical concepts
- General Courses AE (AVU) provides relevant qualifications for continuing education
and professional life
- Superior Preparatory Examination / HF: teaching only one topic, preparing students
for continuing studies
- Labour market training (AMU). Vocational training programs, including courses
directly adapted to the competences requests of the company
- Training AE (AVU) and basic AE (GVU) for unskilled workers who wish to become
adult apprentices
- Other AE / VVU: a short course of higher education
- Diploma of education level: medium cycle of higher education
Non-formal education for adults
Currently, non formal education AE pursues the following types of institutions:
- Evening schools (around 1800) provides non-formal AE in order to increase understanding
and general competences of the individual. The local private institutions, most of them part of
the five national associations AE, 4 of which are linked to political parties.
- Extended Danish University: educational instruction and lectures organized by extra-mural
departments (about 100 local committees) of the four Danish universities.
- Daily High school (approx. 50) which provides training for adults with low formal
education, socially vulnerable persons in order to improve their chances of success on labour
market.
- Private institutions: private institutions, some of them related to associations, trade unions
or NGOs.

- Residential centres providing adult education (folkehøjskole - approx. 80) offers short term
courses (less than two weeks) and long residential courses (over 12 weeks).
'Non-Formal' Learning – Folkehøjskole
These folk high schools (Folk high schools) based on Grundtvig's idea (as in most
Scandinavian countries) form an important part of non-formal learning system. They offer
residential courses, characterized by mutual learning that takes into account previous
experiences, as well as the lack of formal examinations. Training lasts on average 4-5 months
and the topics are very varied, from politics, art, music, or subjects aimed at personal
development, teamwork and nutrition.
Danish Adult Education Association (www.daea.dk ) is the umbrella organization for all
institutions and associations of non-formal education.
Legal and organizational framework
AE is based on several different laws and the jurisdiction is divided between 5 different
ministries. The municipalities are responsible for a part of non-formal AE as well as special
education of adults, while most AE centres have become self-governing state institutions.
The institutions providing non-formal education are listed below. The most important
institutions of formal AE include:
- Language centres,
- Adult Education Centres, (VUC)
- Labour Market Training Centres (AMU)
- Technical schools, business schools, agricultural schools and basic social & health
service schools,
Centre for Higher Education (CVU) and universities are all primarily for young people, but
offers also AE. Most of them are also self-governing state institutions.

The self-governing state institutions are financed partly by the state, partly by tuition fees,
which may either be paid by a local public authority or by the participant himself.
Participants may receive National AE Support (SVU) on different sets of conditions. The
finances of non-formal AE institutions are based on tuition fees. Evening schools are
supported, though, by municipalities with 1/3 of expenses for teachers and they assure that
the vacancies are available. Extended University courses are supported with the same
percentage by the state. Certified folk high schools receive a substantial government grant.
AMU financing [12] is ensured by the state budget, supplemented by student fees paid by
participants or employers amounting to 100-150 euros / week. The employer / company are
funding the support grant scheme offering trainees an allowance to compensate for unearned
income by them during training leave. Training of unemployed is funded by the Employment
Public Service.
Adult education and the business sector
The great majority of the educational activities take place within the formal education system
due to the preponderance of small and medium enterprises in Denmark (approximately
330,000 companies[12]). Nevertheless most of the large companies have special education
departments - they often operate in collaboration with vocational training centres on the
labour market.
There are a growing number of private players and a big market of private courses that offer
to the employees, managers and professionals a range of additional options for training and
education.
Globalization contributes to the development of the policies in Denmark.
After a broad political agreement the Danish Parliament voted two new important laws: 1) to
double the number of students FVU (see above [4], 2) for the recognition of prior learning,
for example, non-formal education in the formal education. Ministry of Education has also
introduced a new system for systematic assessment and evaluation of program impact AE [5]

To meet the requirements of the labour market [12]:
• Training programs are developed by the social partners, it provides relevance to the labour
market and the target group;
• Programs are approved by the ministry, it provides a global approach national standards and
certificates;
• Training is provided by vocational colleges and training centres in order to meet the needs
of the local labour market and companies.

1.3. Evaluation and certification of professional competences acquired in
informal and non-formal context
The validation of non-formal and informal learning is increasingly recognized as key to
achieving more lifelong learning. A growing number of European countries have realized the
importance of valuing the learning that takes place outside formal education and training
institutions, namely the work process, of leisure or at home.
Prior learning includes knowledge, skills and competencies that a person has regardless of
how they were obtained.
A common set of principles for identification and validation of non-formal and informal
learning has been adopted by the European Council in May 2004.
European principles for identification and validation of non-formal and informal learning [4]
• Validation should be a voluntary matter
• Privacy should be respected
• Equal access and fair treatment should be guaranteed
• The stakeholders should establish validation system
• The systems should include mechanisms for guidance and counselling of individuals
• The process, procedures and criteria for validation must be fair, transparent and supported
by quality assurance
• Systems should respect the legitimate interests of stakeholders and to seek a balanced

Denmark is among the countries with a high level of development of the methods of
validation as a tool to support lifelong learning. The policy paper released by Denmark in
2004, Recognition of prior learning in the education system which follows the one in 2002
Better education action plan, provides the validation a high priority and a very specific
orientation. The policy paper proposes that the recognition of non-formal and informal
learning to be considered throughout the education system and that these initiatives be taken
in adult education and continuous training in order to improve the evaluation and recognition
of non-formal and informal learning. The validation systems for the outcome of non-formal
and informal learning include the general upper secondary education, the vocational
education, adult education and tertiary education. The legislative amendment in 2007 gave
every individual the right to validate prior learning experiences in relation to adult education
and continuous training. New policies focus on individual needs and aim to make the process
more accessible and flexible.
Highlighting and recognition of prior learning of an individual as part of the overall
development of its competence is a way to build on lessons learned on the job, liberal adult
education, leisure activities as well as in educational system. It also helps build a bridge
between different learning environments.
The new regulations indicate that adults have the right to request an educational institution to
assess their previous studies in order to obtain recognition of their competences in the adult
education system and in continuous training.
Prior learning assessment offers individuals the opportunity to:
• Qualification for educational programs
• Educational programs adapted or obtaining a credit for certain classes
• Getting a "certificate of competence" if the competences are the same as those obtained by
completing a part of an educational program
• Getting a “program certificate“ if the competences are the same as those obtained by
completing the entire training program.

Competences acquired through work experience and non-formal learning and informal
systems can be evaluated and recognized. This can also be helpful if a person is not able to
provide documentation of his qualifications. If there is no documentation about competences
owned then they can be assessed and recognized in particular in the Danish Education System
for Adults.
Depending on the competences owned, a person can access a program of education, may
qualify for exemption for the parts of the program or to obtain a certificate of competency or
a diploma that recognizes either a full program or complete modules of a program.
Individual competences evaluation is provided in the context of:
• Diploma Programs (continuing professional education at bachelor level)
• Adults of short higher education programs (VVU)
• Adult Basic Education (GVU), e.g. education and training
• General Education for Adults (AVU) and topics of general upper secondary education
("almengymnasial")
There are also specific opportunities for refugees and immigrants. They may receive
assistance and guidance by contacting the nearest labour office. Whether a person has a
qualification gained outside Denmark it can address the Danish Agency for Universities and
Internationalisation to be evaluated. The tools listed below helps to build a picture of what a
person knows or has learned during education, at work, in the leisure activities, etc.:

The qualifications framework for lifelong learning was developed through a work done in the
interdepartmental working groups with representatives from four ministries and stakeholders
in the Danish education system. At the End of 2006 the Ministry of Education launched this
process the proposal was approved in 2009, and complete form of the framework was
provided at the end of 2010 [11].

II . The process of recognition of professional qualifications in Denmark
2.1. The legal and institutional framework of recognition of qualifications
acquired in other EU MS, EEA and Switzerland
The EU norms on recognition of professional qualifications are established in the Member
States by Directive 2005/36/EC, known as Directive 2005/36/EC of the European Parliament
and of the Council of 7 September 2005 on the recognition of professional qualifications (or
Professional Qualifications Directive). In Denmark the Ministry of Science, Innovation and
Higher Education[18] is the coordinator of the directive on the recognition of professional
qualifications and the LIMIC is contact point (IMI) for the directive, ENIC / NARIC and the
competent authority for teachers and sectoral professions. The law implementing the directive
application is the Law no.189 of 12 February 2010 concerning the right to exercise certain
professions in Denmark / Act on the Right to Exercise Certain Professions in Denmark [17].
In Denmark, is implemented the Directive on recognition of professional qualifications of
nationals in the EU / EEA and nationals of the countries with which the EU has entered into
an agreement on the implementation of the Directive, namely Switzerland.
The Directive on recognition of professional qualifications apply to natural persons who are
fully qualified to practice in another country in the EU / EEA and who want to work in an
employed or self-employed activity in Denmark in a profession that is regulated in the
Denmark.
The Directive on recognition of professional qualifications lays down rules on the practice of
a regulated profession on a permanent basis (establishment) and on a temporary or
occasional basis (services) beyond national borders, within the EU / EEA.
Establishment
Establishment Norms consist of three different sets of rules:
• Rules concerning immediate recognition of qualifications (general rules);
EUROPEAN UNION ROMANIAN GOVERNMENT
MINISTRY OF LABOUR, FAMILY, SOCIAL PROTECTION AND
ELDERLY AMPOSDRU
European Social Fund POS DRU 2007-2013
Structural instruments 2007 - 2013
31
• Rules concerning automatic recognition of qualifications of doctors, dentists practitioners,
nurses, midwives, pharmacists, veterinary surgeons and architects (sectoral rules);
• Rules for automatic recognition based on professional relevant experience.
Recognition according to the general rules (immediate recognition)
As a general rule, professional qualifications from another EU/EEA state must be approved in
Denmark unless the Danish authorities find that there is a substantial difference between the
statutory requirements regarding professional qualifications that exist in Denmark and
applicant professional qualifications. If this is the case, the applicant will get the opportunity
to prove, by completing an aptitude test or an adaptation period, that you have the necessary
qualifications. If it is not given full access to the pursuit of the profession, the authority must
therefore offer to the applicant the choice between completing an aptitude test or an
adaptation period, in some cases culminating in an examination. For professions whose
pursuit requires special knowledge of Danish law, the competent authority may stipulate
either an adaptation period or an aptitude test. This applies e.g. to the qualification as
lawyer according to the Professional Recognition Directive, to certain auditor professions,
certain management positions and certain specialisation courses within the health professions.
Aptitude test
An aptitude test aims to assess the applicant ability to pursue a particular regulated profession
in Denmark. In order to permit this test to be carried out, the competent authority draws up a
list of subjects which are not covered by the applicant diploma, and which are essential in
order to be able to pursue the profession in Denmark. the applicant may be required to take
the aptitude test in Danish. The competent authority can provide the applicant with
information about preparatory courses and inform the applicant where the test can be taken
and of the enrolment procedure. The applicant must pay all costs related to the aptitude test.
Period of practical work experience/adaptation period
A period of practical work experience/adaptation period is the applicant's pursuit of his/her
profession for a limited period in Denmark under the responsibility of a qualified member of
that profession. The adaptation period is subject to an assessment. The competent authority

MINISTRY OF LABOUR, FAMILY, SOCIAL PROTECTION AND
ELDERLY AMPOSDRU
European Social Fund POS DRU 2007-2013
Structural instruments 2007 - 2013
32
determines the content and duration of the adaptation period and its assessment. It is the
applicant own responsibility to find a place where you can get practical work experience with
or without pay.
Automatic recognition based on minimum training conditions mutually agreed in the EU MS
Seven sectoral professions in the EU are covered by a system for the automatic recognition of
professional qualifications. They are the professions of doctor, dental practitioner, nurse,
midwife, veterinary surgeon, pharmacist and architect. However, the architect profession is
not regulated in Denmark and consequently an authorisation to pursue this profession in
Denmark is not needed. The sectoral professions are characterised by being subject to certain
mutual EU minimum training conditions.
This means that if the applicant have completed training that entitles him to pursue one of
those professions in another EU/EEA country, it is entitled to automatic recognition of your
qualifications, and can automatically gain the right to pursue the profession in Denmark,
regardless of whether he want to work on a temporary or occasional basis or whether he want
to establish yourself permanently.
Automatic recognition under the rules on acquired rights
If the applicant is a doctor, nurse, dental practitioner, midwife, veterinary surgeon or
pharmacist, and do not meet the above minimum conditions, it may be granted exemption
from the conditions if he commenced his training within the profession before a date set out
in the Professional Recognition Directive, and if he has been effectively and lawfully
engaged in the activities concerned for at least three consecutive years during the five years
preceding the award of the certificate.
Automatic recognition on the basis of relevant professional experience
The Danish professions covered by this form of recognition are listed in Annex 2 to Guide to
recognition of foreign professional qualifications-Access to regulated professions in
Denmark- March 2010[14].
Automatic recognition applies in the below situation:

33
The profession is listed in Annex IV of the Directive, and pursuit of the profession is
contingent upon possession of general, commercial or professional knowledge, and access to
the pursuit of the profession is regulated by law in the host country.
If are meet these criteria, the applicant are entitled to automatic recognition within one of the
professions set out in Annex 2, if it is able to prove to the competent authority that it is in
possession of relevant professional experience from his home member state of a duration
stated in articles 17-19 of the Directive.
The relevant professional experience is required to have duration of three to six years,
depending on whether it is applied for recognition in an employed or self-employed capacity
or as a manager of an undertaking. It also depends on the profession concerned.
A statement regarding the relevant professional experience must be issEUd by the competent
authority in the home country. In Annex B of the Code of Conduct, one can look up who is
responsible for issuing the above statement in the home member state.
Professions that are included in the systems of the EU / EEA automatic recognition based on
relevant professional experience, cf. Articles 16 and 19 of the Directive on recognition of
professional qualifications [14]

For certain persons working in a self-employed capacity, automatic recognition are also
contingent upon the form of activity that is the object of the recognition not having finished
more than 10 years before the date on which you submit the complete application for
professional recognition.

If the applicant is unable to document the professional experience mentioned, the application
will be considered according to the general rules on immediate recognition of professional
qualifications. In such case it must prove that it possess evidence of relevant formal
qualifications issued in your home member state. If the profession is not regulated in the
home member state, it must provide evidence that it have obtained at least two years of
relevant professional experience during the previous 10 years in the home member state.
Free provision of services in Denmark
In Denmark the Ministry of Business and Growth (Ministry of Business and Growth) is a
Single Point of Contact for the Services Directive, SOLVIT and NIMIC (National IMI
Coordinator) [18].
If the applicant wants to work on a temporary or occasional basis in Denmark based on the
evidence of formal qualifications and certificates issued in your home country, you are a
service provider.
As a general rule, the applicant is entitled to provide services on a temporary or occasional
basis in Denmark if it is legally established for the purpose of pursuing the regulated
profession in another EU/EEA country.
Unless the profession in Denmark is subject to requirements regarding so-called prior check ,
it will pursue the profession with the certificates and evidence of formal qualifications issued
in the country of origin (of establishment).
If the profession is not regulated in your country of origin, the applicant must have worked in
this profession for at least two years during the previous 10 years in that country in order to
benefit from this arrangement. Declaration is required to be made in advance with regard to
some of the regulated professions in Denmark. With regard to foreign professional
qualifications in professions that are deemed to have public health or safety implications, a
prior check requirement is also requested.
Declaration to be made in advance
With regard to certain professions it is required to notify the relevant Danish competent
authority in advance of your intention to provide the service before providing the service for

the first time. In such case you must submit a written declaration. It is also often required to
submit copies of the relevant documents to prove that it is fully qualified and that is entitled
to pursue the profession in your home country. In this connection it may be requested to
submit the documents mentioned
If the review of the documents shows that there are substantial differences between the
qualifications and the Danish statutory requirements relating to the pursuit of the profession,
the competent authority may request an aptitude test. In Annex 1 of this study can look up
whether the profession is subject to a prior check. There are also cases in which a prior check
is not possible: the sectoral professions comprised by the rules of the Professional
Recognition and professions comprised by the rules concerning automatic recognition based
on relevant professional experience.
Time limits for prior check
If the competent authority has not notified the applicant within one month of receipt of the
documents that the qualifications must be checked, the applicant may commence work.
If the applicant is notified that it must take an aptitude test, the competent authority must
inform it of the test within one month of the competent authority notifying that the
qualifications must be checked.
In case of problems that may delay the decision, the time limit may be extended by one
month.
In any case, the applicant must be able to first provide the service within three months of the
competent authority receiving all the relevant documents.
In fig. 5 is shown the flowchart to be followed for a person who wants to work in Denmark as
temporary or occasional services provider, in the professions listed in Appendix 1 to this
paper.

Ressort, all foreign qualified people have the right to be evaluated by the Danish Agency for
Universities and Internationalization, with the purpose of taking a job in Denmark. This
applies to qualifications at all levels [10,18].
In Denmark, as well as in other MS / EEA the professions are divided into two categories:
unregulated and regulated. The regulated professions in Denmark can be exercised only by
persons certified following the specific rules of that profession. If the professional title was
obtained in another state, for the legal exercise of the profession concerned is necessary to
obtain recognition of professional qualifications from the Danish competent authority under
Directive 2005/36/EC on recognition of professional qualifications.
At the same time, Denmark has established a system for the recognition of competences
acquired through three types (categories) of learning (formal, non-formal and informal),
defined in this paper.
The deadline for examination of the diplomas recognition file that certify a given professional
training set out in Community and national law and must not exceed three months.
The file must contain the following documents:
Proof of your nationality (e.g. a copy of the ID Card or passport).
Attestation of professional competence or qualifications grades, which provides
access to the profession (where the profession is regulated in the country of origin);
Certificates, diplomas, etc.. Relevant to the profession concerned;
Proof that it was practiced the profession for at least two years in the last ten in the
Member State of establishment, when the profession is not regulated in that country
(e.g. payroll or references from previous employers and documents of identification
of previous professional activity and its duration);
Contact details: name, address, phone and e-mail. If someone sends documents, for
example, a courier company on behalf of the applicant, sender name, address, phone
and e-mail;
medical certificate showing that the applicant is able to exercise a regulated
profession;
seagoing service documentation.

38
If the applicant is a citizen of a country belonging to the EU or EEA and profession is on the
regulated professions list of the Single Contact Point, one can send documents in electronic
format to the Single Contact Point, even if it is a temporary service provider (when it is
required to submit a declaration and accompanying documents). To find out if it can use this
option the applicant must visit the website: www.businessindenmark.dk (search by
profession).
If the applicant occupation is not on the list of Single Contact Point, it must send the required
documents (see list above) by mail to the competent authority responsible for processing his
application (same applies when applicant is a citizen of a country outside the EU / EEA).
It is very important for the applicant to send certified photocopies of the essential documents
(professional qualification certificates, experience, etc). This means that an authority has
confirmed the authenticity of the originals of essential documents by stamping and signing
each page (copies).
This confirmation can be made by a Danish authority (e.g. local municipality, by employment
agency, etc.), or by the institution / authority that issued the document, or embassy / consulate
in Denmark of the country where the document is issued or by a Danish embassy or
consulate. If the applicant can not submit a certified copy, the competent authority could
control the content and authenticity of the diploma, certificate and / or of personal data.
Standard documents, such as ID cards, passports, etc., should not be sent as certified
translations. Documents issued in English, Norwegian or Swedish should not be translated,
and the documents issued in other languages must be translated into Danish or English. Some
competent authorities also support translations in German and French, this option must
request approval from competent authority. During the exercise of the profession in Denmark
the applicant shall be made aware of the rules governing professional qualification concerned
both professional and administrative, and the definition of the profession, the use of titles and
serious professional malpractice and disciplinary provisions, which are applicable in
Denmark to those engaged in the profession . Danish Agency for International Education has
published a guide for the recognition of foreign qualifications (Guide to recognition of
foreign professional qualifications-Access to regulated professions in Danmark- March
2010[14]), which provides all the information on this topic.

2.2. Regulated professions and competent authorities
In Denmark, in the EU database (see Figure no. 6) there are 154 professions regulated under
Directive 2005/36/EC.
For Romania (Figure 7) the number of professions recorded as regulated profession is
smaller, only 95.
Of these only a relatively small number of professions are regulated in both countries.
In table no. 3 are shown some of these professions, competent authorities and legislation
governing the practice of those professions. For Romania were considered not only the
professions regulated by Law 200 of 2004, but also regulated profession on the basis other
regulations and administrative provisions.

2.3. IMI statistics on the regulated professions registered in Denmark
compared to those in Romania
The Directive 2006/123/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of
12 December 2006 on services in the internal market stipulates on article 34 Accompanying
measures:
1. The Commission, in cooperation with Member States, shall establish an electronic system
for the exchange of information between Member States, taking into account existing
information systems.
Based on this directive IMI has been enacted in Denmark the Regulation no. 1024/25 October
2012[15] , which specifies the formal creation of IMI, the functions and the responsibilities,
the provisions on personal data, the scope and future expansions.
IMI structure in Denmark can be illustrated by the following diagram (Figure No. 8):

The statistics regarding the two countries, Romania and Denmark, provides information
about the speed of requests solving, responding in the agreed deadlines, response speed, etc..
Overall, Romania is slightly better than Denmark and both countries better than the EU
average. In the event of delays in processing applications, one can appeal to SOLVIT.
SOLVIT [16] is an on-line problem solving network in which EU Member States work
together to solve without legal proceedings problems caused by the misapplication of Internal
Market law by public authorities
SOLVIT deals with cross-border problems between a business or a citizen on the one hand
and a national public authority on the other, where there is possible misapplication of EU
law.
Two examples of quick resolution of an application for recognition of qualifications through
SOLVIT are presented below:
A citizen from Chile would want to be recognized in Denmark the dental practitioner
qualification obtained in the country of origin and equated by Spanish authorities
where he had previously worked. Since the procedure for recognition of owned
qualifications as well as the equivalence trials take a long time SOLVIT role was to
speed up this process, so the request was resolved in two weeks.
Another case in which SOLVIT intervened was that of recognition in Italy of a
Danish sworn translator diploma. The Italian authorities were delaying the recognition
process requesting more details and translated version of the diploma. SOLVIT role

was to quickly unlock the situation by determining the Italian authorities to use IMI
and help Danish citizen to work in Italy.
By analyzing the information provided by the EU website on the mobility of professionals
having as host country Denmark, it results watching the chart on the fig. 10 that in 2007-
2012 the top 5 countries providing qualified personnel for Denmark were Germany, Poland,
Sweden, UK and the Netherlands. Exchanges between Denmark and Romania are not
significant for either establishment or temporary or occasional mobility, as shown from the
Figure 11.
It is obvious the presence of the aforementioned countries as main providers of qualified
personnel in Denmark: Germany, Poland, Sweden, UK, Netherlands (Figure 10).
One of the professions in which mobility has significantly manifested is the installer gas,
water and sanitation installer, for which the examination situation is shown in Figure No. 9.

CONCLUSIONS
Education and vocational training system in Denmark is an articulate, flexible system and
meets the needs of beneficiaries and the identified labour market needs. There is, unlike in
Romania, a good correlation and correspondence between general and vocational upper
secondary education with the academic and vocational higher education. As a result, young
people are attracted to technical and vocational education, 38% of the cohort of graduates one
year completing IVET.
Education and vocational training include a broad range of programs for both youth and
adults. Adult education and vocational training offers training programs concluded with
certificates and diplomas at almost all levels of the National Qualifications Framework in
Denmark (Level 7 to 8).
Relevance for the labour market of the vocational training programs is ensured through the
involvement in this process the social partners (employers, trade unions, professional
organizations) that are organized into sectoral committees coordinated by the Council for
continuing adult education, an advisory body of the Ministry of Children and education.
In Denmark the assessment, certification, validation and recognition of competences acquired
in non-formal and informal is regulated, but unlike Romania, this process is not carried out in
competence assessment centres, but in the professional colleges and training centres
accredited by the Ministry of children and education.
Unlike Romania, which does not yet have defined and legislated a national framework of
qualifications in relation to the European Qualifications Framework, in Denmark it was
established this framework which is operating since the end of 2010. The Danish NQF has
eight levels and include all qualifications offered by the entire education and training system
(undergraduate, university academic and vocational, continuous education and vocational
training and of the adults, etc.).

Education and vocational training are based on two pillars that ensure the quality and
relevance of training to the labour market. These are the Ministry of Education and the social
partners, organized into sectoral committees. Identified competences needs on the labour
market are transmitted to the Ministry of Education which take over and describes the
qualifications, it provides, evaluates and certify the students.
Quality of the processes of education and training is ensured by adequate funding from both
the state budget and the contribution of the social partners, stakeholders, etc. through the fund
for new competences.
Directive 2005/36/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 7 September 2005 on
the recognition of professional qualifications has been taken and implemented in Denmark
partly by Law nr.189/12.02.2010 on the right to exercise certain professions in Denmark,
which allowed retention of specific national elements. Thus, although in all EU the architect
profession is a regulated profession belonging to the 7 sectoral professions, in Denmark this
profession is not regulated profession, Danish people considering it a "brand".
Both the statistics as well as the meetings carried out in the study visit shows that Denmark
does not use IMI frequently, but it however, at national level, the demands of recognition of
qualifications and diplomas from other Member States of the European Union are quickly
resolved through national coordinator IMI SOLVIT centre.
In Denmark the professional and the human activity are characterized by three essential
characteristics: simplicity, responsibility, mutual trust, compliance with which ensures proper
functioning of the society and the prosperity of its citizens.
