A professional qualification as a risk training instructor who has been acquired in another state within the European Economic Area (EEA) or in Switzerland can under certain conditions be recognized for a corresponding professional practice as risk training instructor in Sweden. A first condition for this is that the applicant is qualified to practice this profession in the state in which the professional qualification has been acquired.

If the profession is regulated

If risk training instructor is a regulated profession in the state where the professional qualification has been acquired, the applicant must also be able to show the qualifications or evidence of formal qualifications required to practice this profession.

If the profession is not regulated

If risk training instructor is not a regulated profession in the state where the professional qualification has been acquired, the applicant must be able to show proof of competence for such a professional qualification. If these do not constitute evidence of a regulated education, the applicant must also be able to show that he or she has practiced the profession of risk training instructor in that state for at least one year during the last ten years.

Compensation measures that may be required for recognition

If an acquired professional qualification meets the requirements for recognition for a corresponding professional practice as a risk training instructor in Sweden, any compensatory measures may also be required. These may consist of an adaptation period or an aptitude test, and may be required, among other things, if the applicant's education for the professional qualification deviates significantly from the educational requirements set in Sweden.
