NOKUT - recognition of foreign education
Do you have foreign education that may be unfamiliar to Norwegian employers? If so, you should apply for recognition of your foreign education in Norway.
If you have higher education from Poland and would like it to be recognised in Norway, you can apply for degree recognition through NOKUT (the Norwegian Agency for Quality Assurance in Education). This will give future or current employers confidence that the diploma is valid and confirms your qualifications.

- Concrete worker
- Carpenter
- Hairdresser
- Plumber
- Beautician
- Cook
- Butcher
