How long does the process take?
Once all required documents have been submitted the competent body will start the equivalency review.Starting 1 December 2012 the process should take no longer than three months. Complicated cases may constitute grounds for a one-time exceptional extension of this time period.
The three-month period until notification is issued commences only once all necessary documentation has been received.
The three-month period is also suspended if a qualifications analysis must be conducted because the required documents cannot be produced.
