Polish qualifications may or may not be recognised in countries whose regulations similarly regulate the acquisition of a profession. Within the European Union, the situation is quite clear - member states are bound by the Mutual Recognition Directive. Also in Switzerland or Norway, there should be no problem with taking up employment on the basis of Polish qualifications - they can be exchanged for those valid in these countries. However, Polish documents are not sufficiently recognisable in the world to be universally honoured, even after translation. A good solution for people who want to go abroad to work is to purchase an additional certificate in English, issued by CERT (UDT unit). The Center itself also, for an additional fee, issues certificates of completion of the course in accordance with international standards. Both documents are universally recognized in many countries.
