There are recognition procedures that exist in the Italian system for foreign qualification evaluation for non-academic purposes that are performed by different administrations of the State. The major part of these procedures are indicated in the Presidential Decree n. 189 of 11 July, 2002 which put in place the dispositions of Art. 5 of the Law n. 148 of 11 July, 2002 – which ratifies the Lisbon Recognition Convention.
Employment in the Italian Public Administration is usually dependent upon a public competition. The holders of a foreign qualification of any level (secondary school or higher education), subject to the relevant requirements mandated by the present regulations relating to public employment, can participate in competitions for employment positions in the Italian public administrations via a recognition procedure triggered by Art. 38 of Legislative Decree 165/2001, as modified by Art. 8 of the Law Decree n. 5 of 9 February, 2012. The procedure and the documents to be produced are indicated in Art. 2 of Presidential Decree 189/2009.
NB: This procedure has the function of evaluating the principal qualification requested by the competition announcement. For the evaluation of further foreign qualification with a view to increasing bonus points in a competition or for furthering a career inside the public administration kindly read on.
The scope of this procedure is to evaluate the comparability of the foreign qualification to that of the Italian qualification specified in a certain competition announcement with a view to access to the exams of that competition, without an Italian qualification being awarded (equivalence). This procedure is concurrent with the public competition in question, therefore it is necessary to attach the specific competition announcement to the request for comparability.
This procedure is not relevant in the case of “competitions” referring to restricted professions (ex. Teacher) or in the case of access to PhD programmes.
It is possible to download online the Form for the request for comparability of a foreign qualification of an academic nature prepared by the Department of Public Affairs: in this form all the necessary documents for the presentation of the request are indicated, as is the relevant office of the Ministry of Education, Universities and Researchto send them to.
If the principal Italian qualification needed for the participation in a competition is already held and the applier wishes to introduce further foreign titles with a view to increasing bonus points in competitions or for furthering a career inside the public administration, the contents of Art. 3 comma 1 letter a) of the Presidential Decree n. 189 of 30 July, 2009, may be applied.
