Hello everyone,

Were your professional qualifications recognised in Kuwait? What country did you complete your qualifications in? What profession are you in?

Did you have to go through any formalities to get your qualifications recognised, such as to have them translated?

If your qualifications weren't recognised, were there any additional tests or exams you had to complete before you were able to practice your profession in Kuwait or continue with your studies?

Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

Hi,

My answer is yes, I've came to Kuwait as HR executive, this was based on my experience as HR & Recruiter in home land. I guess only medical positions would require a recognition exams here in Kuwait, other than that all other professions would be accepted based on their qualifications.
