Professional recognition as a teacher

When you want to teach in a foreign country, DUO can provide you with a statement about your qualification as a teacher in the Netherlands. 

Application

You can submit your application by printing and filling out the applicationform.

Statement

A statement made out in your name is issued in case you provide us with a certified copy of your diploma. A certified copy is not necessary for those who simultaneously send in their original diploma for legalization (see "Legalizing"). 

The statement contains information (if relevant) on the following issues: 
  • the educational sector(s) and subject(s) for which you are qualified 
  • the recognized status of your diploma in the Netherlands 
  • the course-duration 
  • the term of validity of the qualification 
  • the right to use a Dutch title 
  • the validity of the course within the framework of the EC-directive          
The statement can be provided in the Dutch as well as in the English language.
