INTRODUCTION
The present guide, as other similar studies of comparative analysis of the
competencies process certification and qualification recognition in Netherlands, Spain,
Germany, Denmark, United Kingdom and Czech Republic, is one of the results of the project
called „The Network of Competent Authorities for Professional Qualifications in Romania
(IMI PQ NET Romania)” implemented by the Ministry of National Education in partnership
with the National Qualifications Authority and the Institute for Social Policies (IPS), cofinanced by the Social European Fund through the Sectoral Operational Program Human
Resources Development 2007– 2013(POSDRU).
The General Objective of the project called „The Network of Competent Authorities
for Professional Qualifications in Romania(IMI PQ NET Romania)”consists in creating and
consolidating the IMI Network(Internal Market Information) for the professional
qualifications in Romania (IMI PQ NET), with the purpose of sustaining the CE initiative
regarding the development of the System for Informing the Internal Market, the
development of a common initiative in this respect, at a national level, targeting the
consolidation of the social partners’ capability (agencies and governmental organizations,
professional associations) to promote durable development through the creation of proper
instruments and communication channels and mutual consultancy with the purpose of
gaining efficient communication with the similar organizations within the European Union
and the European Economic Area (EEA), through the IMI platform.
In order to reach the general objective, MNE, the applicant beneficiary of the project,
aims to achieve the following objectives:

OS1 - Creating and developing a national network to support the
implementation of the Internal Market Information System (IMI), through
strengthening of the capacity of the social partners, by creating channels of
communication and mutual consultation;

OS2 - Development and implementation of common terms of reference on
certification standards for Romanian workers' skills and the recognition of
professional qualifications of EU citizens;

OS3 - Involving Network members in the exchange of information mediated
by IMI platform, by providing information / data to requests addressed through
this platform by organizations / associations in the EU / EEA.
For creating the comparative studies the methodological external experts of the
National Qualifications Authority have examined the national information sources (of the
analyzed countries and Romania) and at a Community level (comparative studies conducted
at the European Union level) and have participated to a study visit in different EU Member
States, thus having the chance to complete their work of documentation through the
experience exchange with representatives of the Competent Authorities on different
regulated professions within those countries.
This comparative study was made based both on data presented within the
international official reports and also by using the direct information that the Romania IMI
PQ NET team acknowledged during the visit to Italy. A series of aspects regarding the
professions for which there is a high number of applications from Romanian citizens in order
to be recognized in Italy were highlighted (as, for example, nurse), and different issues that
occur when it comes for the qualifications recognition for which there are big differences of
training between the two countries (as, for example, beautician, hairdresser).
For the received information during the visit and for the change of experience, the
author and the management team would like to thank some ministries and department
representatives from Italy: Ministero dello Sviluppo Economico (Ministerul Dezvoltării
Economice), Ministero della Salute (Ministry of Health, Dipartimento Politiche Europee
(Europenean Policies Department), Dipartimento per lo Sviluppo e la Competitività del
Turismo (Departament for Turism Development and Competivity), Ministerio de lavoro e

dell'Università e della Ricerca - MIUR (Ministry of Education, Universities and Research),
ISFOL - Istituto per lo Sviluppo della Formazione Professionale dei Lavoratori (Training
Institute of workers), the Ministry of Justice and the national IMI coordinator.

1. COMPETENCIES CERTIFICATION
PROCESS IN ITALY
1.1. The education system and acquired certifications within it
Obtaining a certain professional qualification is based on the national education
system presented in fugure 1.1.
Ministerio dell'Università e della Ricerca (Ministry of Education, Universities and
Research, MIUR) is responsible for the regulation, monitoring, establishment in the general
funding framework, the harmonization with the european system (Bologna Process) and
setting the admission requirements for higher education. MIUR responsibility is also to
coordinate the activities within the scientific research institutions. The universities have a
wide autonomy range regarding the management, funding and the educational offer.
Starting from 1998, a lot of non-university domain of MIUR responsibilities were
delegated to local and regional authorities. The Ministry continues to be responsible for the
criteria regarding the educational organization system and it`s evaluation, the tasks regarding
the financial establishment and resources, and also for school`s staff allocation. Different
regions are responsible for tasks, as per example the range planning of educational programs,
curricula, school calendar and professional education organization.
Starting from 1999 an important reform series took place, especially within the higher
educational system. The binary system was introduced, with the three steps of university
education, on one hand, and post-secondary professional education on the other hand.
Also, a credit system was adopted, adapted to the European Credit Transfer System
(ECTS) in order to provide more flexible programs to the individual and to facilitate the
continuity of the educational programs. A third reform was introducing a quality insurance
system, with an evaluation unit within each university. In the year 2000, the mandatory
educational system was extended to 8-9 years, for children with age from 6 to 15 years. The

teaching language is Italian and, in some cases, German (in some nordic regions of the
country, if the majority of the population is german ethnic).
Preschool and primary school education
Preschool education from Italy is addressing to children with ages between 3 and 6
years. Although it is not mandatory, 96% of the children are pursuing the preparation step.

1.2. Adult education – general education/on key competencies and
continuous training
The situation from Italy is characterized through the existence of some public and
private education providers for adults for continuous training. According to recent political
evolution for promoting the continuous growth of the competences of local and regional
authorities, the responsibility for the adult education doman was gradually transferred to
Regions 1.
Permanent Territorial Centers (PTC) and evening schools are the main public specific
structures foocused on promoting the adult education activities. On the other hand, the
organizations and private companies work closely with public authorities, and many NGOs
are operating on the territory in order to provide non-formal educations classes to the adults.
The PTCs and the schools act both in formal education and also in non-formal one.
The main purspose of the PTCs is to promote the basic culture, to develop and consolidate
the basic skills and specific knowledge, to teach foreign languages (Italian fo foreigners) and
to offer classes for obtaining a „Lower secondary school diploma” (Diploma de Scuola
Secondaria Inferiore), in the case of the adults who have not graduated the lower secondary
school on time (early dropout).
The classes offered by PTC can be attended by adults and young people aged over 16
who have not passed the first "cycle" of education, or by people who want to improve
education. The classes are tax free and are funded mainly by the ministry of Education.
Decree of the Ministry 25/10/2007 (that was enforced in January of 2009)
transformed the existent Permanent Territorial Centers (PTCs) into Regional Centers for
Adult Education (Centri per l'Provinciali Istruzione degli Adulti), with the purpose of
reorganizing its activity and management.
Education and third party non-university training (IFTS) utilizes a national standard
system based on compentencies aquirements since year 2000. Moreover, after adopting the
Decree from 25th of January of 2008 that regulates the relations between the italian

government and some independent regions regarding the professional qualifications
recognition, the Nationat Committee for IFTS decided the standards actualization
(professional occupational and training) in order to confer more coherence and compatibilit
with the approach based on education results.
It has been developed, at a regional level, an offer of continuous training classes for
an year, based on national occupational standards named „competencies units profiles”, but it
was implemented according to the local needs, and another offer, at national level, of 2 years
classes that are also based on the standards expressed in learning results.

In 2006, Italy started to develop a unitary methodology based on national level
approach of the training processes in terms of learning results, laying the foundation of a
better integration of all component parts / sub-systems of the qualification system.
A regional competencies iventory standard was created and the methodology was
tested in the tourism and mechanics sectors, which will be applied to other sectors such as the
chemical industry, food industry and agriculture. Also, some regions apdopted the regional
standards based on the same methodology, and ISFOL (Istituto per lo Sviluppo della
Formazione Professionale dei Lavoratori), public institute with role in supporting the national
policies for the creation of a National Qualifications Framework (equal to ANC in Italy,
National Contact Point for EQF), supports the Ministry of Labor in creating a national
database with occupational standards and training developed in the last years, that were not
divided in 24 economical and professional areas. In 2010 an agreement between the Ministry
of Labor, Regions of Italy and the solcial partners was signed, for the common
implementation of the continuous training policies in the vision of EQF, with accent on the
learning results in all contexts – formal, informal and non-formal, the very important role of
the aquired competencies certification for the human capital `s competitive growth and for
learning pursposes during the entire life being recognized.
A non-formal education service is offered by the Popular Universities (Università
Popolari), which are public and private universities whose main purpose is to promote the
adult`s education. They organize different types of activities, the most of them being
addressed to the adults, but are open, also to younger people. The first universities were
opened at the beginning of the 20th century, following the example of the Holland and
Sweden. The largest university is UPTER, based in Rome, which offers a range of courses
(foreign languages, sports, Italian as a foreign language, etc..).
Each reagion stipulates different norms for opening this kind of institutions, but there
are more general requirements:

To be Recognized as regulated associations;

the secondary studies). The duration ranges from 600 and 1200 hours. At the end of
the course a certificate is issued;

Third level. Addressed to young graduates or unemployed, this is designed to offer a
higher specialization level

Professional qualifications. The purpose of this courses is to consolidate the
professional experience of the graduates. Organized at the private associations
initiative, they are, usually, co-financed by the public institutions and are also subject
to tax.

1.4. National Qualifications Framework
vs. European Qualifications Framework
At the time of this study in Italy has not yet been implemented a national
qualifications framework in line with the European Qualifications Framework (EQF), but the
implementation process is in an advanced stage and is expected to be completed during the
year 2013. In Romania, the European Qualifications Framework is implemented only for
higher education, being created National Register of Qualifications in Higher Education in
Romania. For secondary education National Qualification Framework (NQF) is in the public
debate.
According to the report by CEDEFOP in August 2010 on the National Qualifications
Frameworks in the EU Member States, in line with the European Qualifications Framework
(EQF), the development of a national framework of qualifications and their certification
began in Italy since 2003.
The responsability of the developing initiative is divided between the Ministry of
Labor and Social Policies and the Ministry of Education, Universities and Research. National
Committee (Tavolo nazionale) established by the Ministry of Labour in 2006 played a key
role in the development of CNC in Italy, because it includes not only representatives of the
two ministries, but also representatives of the regions and the autonomous provinces of Italy,
and the social partners.
Adopting a national framework of qualifications in higher education (Italian
Framework for Higher Education Qualifications - QTI) in accordance with the Bologna
process started in 2008. The Dublin descriptors are used at national level for the three cycles
of the Bologna system. Some short-term qualifications are defined by universities in subdescriptors, depending on the differences between specific elements of different
qualifications (loading, duration, access etc..).
The decision factors have focused on the need to align diplomas and certificates with
the requirements of the Bologna system. In particular, the legislation reforming higher
education (first cycle of three years) and Laurea Magistrale (Second cycle two years)

provides that new programs should be based on learning outcomes according to the Dublin
descriptors. Thus, the descriptors were agreed with employers to achieve compliance with the
real needs on the labor market.

So far, the stages of the referencing process in Italy can be summarized as it follows:

In 2009 ISFOL was appointed as EQF National Coordination Point (NCP Italy) by
the Ministry of Labor and Social Policies;

Since the beginning of 2009 a Technical Group (TG) worked on the referencing
process. TG is composed of experts from the Ministry of Labor and Social Policy,
Ministry of Education, University and Research, Department of EU Policies and
ISFOL - NCP;

Since 2011 the Regions were involved in the process, through its own technical
committee called the „Technical Coordination Authority”. Also, the Social Partners
were involved in the main working sessions;

Italy completed the Referencing report in February 2013, after its formal approval by
the competent authorities.
Within the referencing process, the Technical Group conducted an overview of the
Italian Qualification Systems, based on the key concepts EQF and shared regional inclusion
qualification choices and references opportunities with the national institutions and of the
Regions and though social partners involvement.

In May 2012 began the consultations with international experts who provided a
valuable feedback for presenting the italian referencing process within the european context.
The national consultation was held in the second half of 2012.
The National Report Structure consists of three sections, namely:
1. General description of the various systems and subsystems of educational and
vocational training;
2. Identifying the appropriate qualifications of these systems and subsystems;
3. The referencing framework based on european analysys criteria.
Within the construction of the National Framework of Qualifications were included
and placed on the appropriate EQF level, the qualifications obtained at regional level.
In table 1.3 the Italy National Framework of Qualifications project is presented, which
most probably will be adopted in this form during 2013.

2. THE RECOGNITION OF PROFESSIONAL QUALIFICATIONS
IN ITALY
2.1. The legal and institutional framework for recognition of
qualifications acquired in other Member States of EU, EEA and
Confederation Helvetica
Italy has implemented the Directive 2005/36/EC on recognition of professional
qualifications by Legislative Decree no. 206 of 6 November 2007 - "Attuazione della
direttiva 2005/36/CE relativa al riconoscimento delle qualifiche professionali, nonche' della
direttiva 2006/100/CE che adegua determinate direttive sulla libera circolazione delle
persone a seguito dell'adesione di Bulgaria e Romania". This decree set the rules allowing
the citizens of EU Member States to pursue a regulated profession in Italy for which they are
qualified in the home Member State.
The transposition text refers to the so-called "regulated" professions as defined in art.
4, paragraph 1, letter a) of this Decree.
The decree applies to the citizens of the European Union Member States who wish to
pursue a regulated profession on the Italian territory, as employees or as self-employed / freelancers, on the basis of professional qualifications acquired in a Member State of the
European Union and sets the conditions under which the exercise of this profession is
allowed.
Also, the competence certification is based on general laws, of which the most
important are:
1. Law 1378 / 12.08.1956 on "State examinations for entitlement to pursue
professions";
2. Ministerial Decree of 09.09.1957 with its amendments regarding the "Approval of
Regulation on state examinations for entitlement to pursue professions ";
3. Law no. 323 of 04.02.1958 on "Rules regarding state examinations for entitlement
to pursue professions ";

4. Presidential Decree no. 328 of 2 June 2001 - "Amendments to the requirements
for admission to the state examinations related to the pursuit of certain professions
and related laws";
5. Ministerial Decree no. 509 of 3 November 1999, with subsequent amendments
and additions- "Regulations on the curricular autonomy of universities";
6. Presidential Decree no. 328 of 5 June 2001 on "Amendments of the procedure and
requirements for admission to the state examination and specific tests related to
the pursuit of certain professions and the organization of competent authorities";
7. Presidential Decree no. 107 of 10 June 2002, transposed into Law 173 of 1 August
2002 - "Urgent provisions on access to regulated professions";
8. Decree Law no. 105 of 9 May 2003, transposed into Law no. 170 of 11 July 2003
- "Urgent measures for universities and research institutes to enable certification
for pursuit of professional activities."
The profession which the applicant wishes to pursue in Italy will be the one for which
he was qualified in the home Member State, if the activities are comparable and can be
practices under the establishment or cross-border provision of services on a temporary and
occasional basis.
Based on art. 56, paragraph 4 and art. 57 of Directive 2005/36/EC on the recognition
of professional qualifications, establishing that each Member State must designate a
competent authority for coordinating the activities related to professional recognition and a
national contact point, to promote the uniform application of this Directive, the article 6,
paragraph 1 of Legislative Decree no. 206/2007 provides to the Department of Community
policies coordination, on the Presidency of the Council of Ministers, the tasks of national
coordinator and National Contact Point.
For the Italian National Contact Point, contact details are:

For professional qualifications recognition, the Directive 2005/36/EC provides three
modes of recognition, namely:

A system based on preventive harmonization of training providing automatic
recognition.
This system is applicable to the professions of nurse, dentist, veterinary,
midwife, architect, pharmacist and doctor.

A system based on mutual trust between Member States (known as the
General System of Recognition). This system is applicable to a number of
professions, which can vary between Member States since the Directive does
not require any regulatory obligation for Member States. It applies when the
profession is regulated in Italy and if the applicant has pursued or is entitled to
pursue it in its home state.
Recognition is not automatic, but requires a comparison of training courses in
the two countries (in this case, Romania and Italy), and the possibility, in the
event of "substantial differences", to impose compensatory measures (test of
aptitudes or adjustment period - article 23 of the Decree).

A system based on professional experience gained in the country of origin.
This system applies to crafting, commercial or industrial activities specifically
listed in Annex IV of the Directive and provides for automatic recognition if
they meet the conditions expressly provided for each professional category.
For recognition in the General System, the request is submitted to the competent
authority of the host Member State (Italy). This application must be accompanied by a series
of documents and certificates listed in Annex VII to the Directive 2005/36/EC on the
recognition of professional qualification.

2.2. Regulated professions and competent authorities
2.2.1. Acces to pursuit of the professions in Italy
From the point of view of access to pursuit, in Italy professions can be classified into
two broad categories, namely:
1.
Regulated professions - performed in Italy, subject to national laws regulating the
professional title, level of training required and the rules of professional conduct. For these
professions, if the professional title was obtained in another Member State, for the lawful
practice
For regulated professions, professional recognition is performed under Community
law (Directive 2005/36/EC on the recognition of professional qualifications), for the persons
that are citizens of an EU Member State, and based on DPR 394/99 art. 49-50 and DPR
334/04 for people from non-EU countries
2.
Non-regulated professions - which may be pursued by any citizen who has a
bachelor's qualification in the profession, issued by an EU Member State. For those
professions, if the professional title was obtained in another Member State, it is not necessary
to obtain the recognition of qualifications by a competent authority in Italy for the lawful
pursuit of the profession.
2.2.2. Regulated professions in Italy
In Italy there are 155 regulated professions, according to official data of the European
Commission on the European single market. Annexes 1 and 2 present these professions with
their name in Italian, English and Romanian, together with some details of the competent
authorities, contacts, qualifications recognition under Directive 2005/36/EC, statistics etc.
In Table 2.1 is presented the main grouping of these professions on the main
competent authorities. As the main difference from Romaniastands the management by the
Ministry of Justice (Ministero della Giustizia) of a relatively large number of professions,

most of which are not in in the justice field (Agrotecnico, Chemical / Chemical junior
industrial ingegnere etc.).
This is justified by the fact that in Italy, the Ministry of Justice has been over the time
the promoter of many legislative acts in various areas and, because of , traditional and
historical reasons, a large number of heterogeneous professions remained under the Ministry
of Justice authority.

2.3. The analysis of the regulated professions in Italy
This chapter is presented a summary analysis of regulated professions in Italy,
grouped by sectors of professions in the IMI system. The main differences to the approach of
Romania, as derived from legal regulations of the two countries and visit data directly known
from studies conducted by IMI PQ Romania team in Italy are highlighted. For an operative
identification of the competent authorities in this chapter are used their original names, the
Romanian translation is presented in Table 2.1.
2.3.1. Professions from architecture and construction sector
In this sector we find a few professions managed by the following competent
authorities::

electricians specialized in constructions. In paragraph 2.3.6 are presented details on the skills
certification of electricians.
Similar to the Order of Architects from Romania, in Italy
In Italy The Order of Architects, planners, landscape architects and conservators
(Ordine degli Architetti, Pianificatori, Paesaggisti e Conservatori) is the professional
organization that manages the professionals registry with right of pursuit of both the architect
profession and the urbanist (territorial planner) and restorer / conservator. The registry
contains two sections:
Section A: architecture, land planning, landscaping, preservation of architectural and
environmental goods. Professional titles: architect, territorial planner, landscaper,
conservator of the architectural and environmental patrimony.
Section B: architecture and planning. Professional titles: junior architect and junior
territorial planner.
2.3.2. Aviation sector professions
1. ENAC - National Authority of Civil Aviation (Ente Nazionale per l’Aviazione
Civile): Controllore di volo/Air traffic controller/Controlor trafic aerian;
In Italy, the principles governing the granting of a license are the following:

Italian Civil Aviation Authority stipulates in its regulation the requirements and
procedures for issuing, maintaining, suspension and revocation of license for air
traffic;

The grant of a license is conditioned by the promotion of theoretical and practical
tests designed to check the applicant's ability to perform activities of air traffic
controller. The tests aim to verify the experience, skills, professional knowledge and
linguistic knowledge within the programs approved by ENAC (National Civil
Aviation Authority in Italy) in accordance with Community legislation;;

Licences are issued by ENAC and are registered in a registry;;

The license, the qualifications or the attestations may be suspended by ENAC in the
following cases: the violation of the laws and regulations regarding the air traffic
control, for serious or repeated negligence in fulfilling the air traffic controller
obligations and that compromised the safety of aircraft and, for other breaches of the
deontological norms.

The license can not be issued to those who were sentenced to prison more than five
years for premeditated crimes.
Under the regulation of 18th of June of 2008 prepared by the omanian Civil
Aeronautical Authority RCAR-LCTA containing the „Licensing of air traffic controllers”,
edition 1/2008 (published in Official Monitor 561 of 24th of July of 2008) in Romania the air
traffic controller training includes theoretical courses, exercises, including simulation
exercises and training in real traffic and must acquire and maintain the skills for providing air
traffic control services safe and high quality.
Although is doesn`t show up on the list of IMI regulated professions, in Italy there is a
series of other pprofessions from aviation domain, regulated de facto, which can be also
found in Romania:

Pilots and aircraft officers: control of air traffic, airline pilot, helicopter pilot, test
pilot, the pilot in command (civil aviation);;

Aircraft Technicians: flight motorman, flight engineer, aerospace technician;

Airport Traffic Technicians: air traffic, control tower traffic conductor, air traffic
assistant conductor, head of airport, flight dispatcher, control tower operator, airport
operator warning, flight expert assistance;

Flight instructiors: aeronautical pilot instructor, school flight instructor.
2.3.3. Professions from the beautification sector

Ministero della Salute: Podologo/Chiropodist (podiatrist)/Pedichiurist.
From the professions listed above, the beautician (aestheticist) and the hairdressers
(aconciatore) are the most requested ones in Italy, by the Romanian citizens. In fact, for the
aesthetician profession, the most of the requests from the EU countries, are received from the
Romanian citizens. In 2010 there were 48 requests, in 2011 - 146, in 2012 – 2007, way above
the official data presented in Section 2.4., which shows that not all the applications are
processed through the IMI system. But for these two professions, there are also major
recognition problems due to the big differences between the trainings in Romania and in
Italy.
The most important difference is that in Romania, the beautician trains for one year
(1800 hours, but there are also older cases, with 500 hours), and in Italy, the training lasts for
3 years, hence the need for substantial compensatory measures. Besides the difference of
time, there is also a difference in the studied programs, in Italy an important aspect is the
equipment knowledge and skills, whose complexity increases exponentially. In the future, the
problem will get worse, because, today, in Italy is being discussesed a law project to move
from a 4 year training, to a 3 year basic training + 1 year training at work as self-employed
worker..
The Law no. 4/04.01.1990 from Italy regulates the aesthetician activity and
establishes the fact that trainings are organized by the regions in specialized schools. The
training is organized in regions, and th state has the aptness in which concerns the recognition
of the diplomas that are received from abroad – from EU Member States or non-EU
countries. The last norm that regulates the studied programs is a Ministerial Decree on the
use of electromechanical cosmetics. In Italy there has been great progress in this regard. The
aesthetician needs to know how to use these machines, because its inappropriate use can have
serious consequences for the health of the client.
All the applications requested in order to obtain the recognition of this qualification
can be accessed on the website of the Ministry of Labour 8. According to the Directive

2005/36/EC, on the recognition of the professional qualifications in one month after the
request is received, the Italian administration needs to confirm to the applicant if there are
any documents missing. Then, after the complete documentation is completed, there is a 3
months period to communicate the decision. It is given a final decision of acceptance or
rejection or an intermediate result regarding the recognition, after the completion of
compensatory measures. If the person if the person is from Romania, it is being discussed if h
needs to pass a skills exam (2 – 3 disciplines) or an adaptation period (usually 3 months). The
subjects for the exam result after comparing the training from Romania with the one from
Italy.
A similar situation regarding the differences on the number of hours can be found in
the the hairdresser profession (acconciatore).

In Italy, the quality assurance and the accreditation in the higher education is assured
by the Agenzia Nazionale di valutazione del Sistema Universitario de e della Ricerca –
ANVUR (similar to the Romanian Agency for Quality Assurance in Higher Education ARACIS in Romania) which is responsible for determinaning the general criteria for
evaluation of universities, promoting, testing and dissemination of evaluation methodologies.
Another important task for the agency is to define criterias and the methodologies for the
harmonization of the evaluating procedures, that are being done by evaluating units, inside
the universities. ANVUR works on an evaluation and accreditation system that will be
applied nationally. Information regarding the recognition of the higher education studies and
of the qualifications are availale on the CIMEA website - Centro di Informazione Sulla
Mobilità e le Equivalenze Accademiche, Fondazione. CIMEA is also tasked with the mission
to promote the international mobility of students. To find out if a program is recognized
nationally, this website can be accessed9 and the search is done by entering the name of the
studying level and the name of the institution.
Information regarding the recognition of the higher education programs in the arts
domain are available on the website of the Ministry of Education, Universities and Research
(MIUR).
To check if an art or music program inside a higher education institution is
recognized, the website http://universo.miur.it/cerca_afam.html can be accessed and the name
of the institution can be searched. For the recogniztion qualification of the teaching
profession, after Romania joined the EU, the recognition can be done based on the license
diploma, under which it can be done the framing of the educational system.
There are recognition difficulties of th teacher’s diplomas from the special schools
from Romania, because, in Italy, there are no special schools. Also, there are difficulties in
the recognition of the teacher’s diplomas, that in Romania have attended the courses of a
pedagogical school (5 years), because in Italy for these professions, a higher education is
required. For the one who are attending the classes as per the new law, there will not be any
problems, because higher education is requested in Romania too. But the ones who have
attended the old system, there will still be recognition problems.

In Italy, it is very important to follow the terms of the Directive 2005/36/EC, on the
professional qualification recognition (4 months). There may be longer terms if the
documentation is not completed, but the procedure is retaken after its completion. According
to the Law 249 on transparency, a citizen must know in maximum 30 days from submitting
his request, if his fil is completed. The recognition process is centralized nationally, and the
appeal is usually centralized, but it can be done by the local judicial authorities. In the last
year, the number of recognition requests for some qualifications in the educational sector,
originated in Romania, is increasing.

For traditional and historical reasons, described at the beginning of the section 2.2, in
Italy, a wide range of professions in engineering and other technical professions are
administered by the Ministry of Justice. In Italy, the engineering profession is a regulated
one, but not all the graduates from a technical institution receive the engineer title. In
Romania, the engineering profession is not regulated, but the formation is. The person
follows study classes of at least 4 years, followed by a license exam.
An important difference towards Romania is the fact that, in Italy, the Autorita per
L’Energia Elettrica e il Gas - AEEG (similar to the National Regulatory Authority in the
Energy domain - NARE in Romania) has no powers of competent authority on training and /
or qualification recognition, but only on the energy market regulation. The professions that in
Romania are managed by NARE (the electricity and gas domains) are regulated in Italy by
other ministries, primarily, the Ministry of Economic Development (table 2.3).
Table 2.3

Another majordifference is for the professions that in Romania are administered by
ISCIR (welders, crane operators, nondestructive testing, boiler operators), but in Italy they
obey to regional and firm-level regulations (table 2.4).

The professions under the categories Installazione impianti elettrici/ Electrical systems
installers; Installazione impianti idraulici/ Hydraulics plumbers; Installazione impianti
termici/ Thermal systems plumbers; Installazione impianti di trasporto del gas/ Gas
transmission systems plumbers; etc. are responsible for the overall technical occupation, that
must be binding in any company. The CEI 11-27 norm regulates the nomination of the
persons responsible (il Responsabile dell’Impianto - RI, Preposto ai Lavori - PL). For
example, every hair or cosmetics salon in Italy, there must be a technical manager. Technical
Officer Qualification Hair Stylist is released in Italy by the region, based on training, courses
or extra practice. Training can be of different durations, depending on how much time the
person has been working in the field. It is taken into account the skills acquired in informal
and non - formal framework and longer courses are organized for people who have no
experience. At the end, an exam is sustained, after which the person is entitled. A document
that will prove the skills gained will be issued by the regional authority, and with this
document, the person can open a salon autonomously, can have employees, can work
independently or work as an employee in a salon.
In Italy, the CEI 11-27 Norm presents the method of naming of the person responsible
with the electrical installation (il Responsabile dell’Impianto - RI) and of the person
responsible with leading the work activity (il Preposto ai Lavori - PL), who have established
specific roles and responsibilities, and also the conditions of formation of 'superiors' and
'supervisors' in this area, owners of plant and workers, including occupational safety rules.
Training involves the following curriculum:

etc
The final evaluation of participants is based on theoretical and practical tests exam.
In Romania, for the electricians that design, construct, verify and operate electrical
power system installations, the competent authority is NARE – National Regulatory
Authority in the Energy domain, being authorized based on the Ord. 11 /2013- “Approval of
the regulation for authorization of electricians, checkers projects, technic responsible with
execution, like as a technical experts of quality and extrajudicial in electrical installation
area”, published in the Official Gazette nr.152/21.03.2013. For the four professional
categories, the order establishes the authorization procedure and upgrading to a superior or
different degree/type, based on an examination, for the procedures for organizing and
conducting the examination of authorization, re-authorization procedure for electricians who
hold or have held the identity card issued by the competent authority, powers, rights and
obligations of authorized and conditions of suspension or withdrawal of authorization,
namely sanctions, both for individuals and for the Romanian foreign requesting authorization
to conduct business in Romania.
The professional categories are related to the ones in Italy. Besides, there were no
reported problems on recognition in this area between the two countries. Thus, in Romania,
the certified electricians to design / execute / verify the electrical installations connected to
SEN may require, where appropriate, the following degrees of authorization: I, II, III and IV.
For each of th II, III and IV grades, there are defined two types of authorization: authorization

Unlike the situation in Romania, in which ISCIR is the competent authority
responsible with the supervision of some installations (boilers, installation of high pressure
devices), in Italy there is a law that indicates a wide variety of possibilities of interventions.
The clients are forced to assign these activities to an individual or a judicial person. For
example, the technical verification of the lift is performed by a Notified Organization,
according to Directive 2005/36/EC. These are authorized organizations, in particular N
17020, who have professionists – 5 years engineers (seniors). The engineering title in Italy
can be owned by a licensed person, who has sustained an examination and is registered in the
order of engineers. It is not enough to have a license in engineering. There organizations,
recognized at the Community level, together with the competent authorities from Italy, can
make the periodical verifications, established by the law: ordinary (at 2 years) or
extraordinary (when the the lift or an equivalent, lifting equipment and so on, are the subject
to significant changes or had incidents). These organizations can evaluate other lifting
systems (which amounts to over 2 m).
In Italy there are authorizations regarding crane operators, welders, which are issued
by the state or state companies authorized to do so. There is an office of the Ministry of
Labour and Social Policy, dealing with these aspects. For the GPL technicians (GPL
operators) there is a GPL Professional Technical Committee, which includes the trade unions
and employers, recognized by the national decree 8108/2008 (single text on the occupational
safety) conducting courses and issuing patents. The patents are considered to be a
qualification title for the practice of this activity. Related to welders, the qualified experts are
certified by a state organization called ISPESL (National Institute for Labor Security
Assurance).
For the ones who are working with lifts, before the appearence of the European
Directives, there was a special office belonging to the Intrnal Ministry, that gave the
qualification of the lift maintener and other similar qualifications. For the lifting of the
equipments, there is an international organization in the UK, with offices in several European

countries, called IPAF10 (International Powered Access Federation). This association is
recognized by different Member States to issue permits with specific program for mobile
platforms high. The title is recognized by the Italian Ministry of Labour as IPAF is
recognized as an association.
In Italy, the engineer title is different than the similar one in Romania. For example,
there is no profession such as engineering welder in Italy. There are two types of engineers
and a category called Expert (Perito) industries that do engineering work. Engineering work
is equated with the engineering. Duration for expert (Perito) is 5 years industrial school.
Junior Engineer title is obtained after a course of higher education three years, followed by
registration with the Junior Engineer and the Senior Engineer requires higher education 3
years + 2 years and other state exam in order to sign senior engineer. Differences between
Italian law and the law of Romania appear regarding auto mechanic profession. Since
Directive 2005/36/EC refers only to the recognition of qualifications concerning regulated
professions in Italy the Directive auto repair companies (there are several types of
qualifications under the same umbrella – mechanical, tinsmith, vulcanization operator, auto
electrician). Here, the company must have a technical supervisor who meets the professional
requirements. When the person with qualifications acquired abroad seeking recognition to
work on their own or to be a technical manager in a company, they need to check what
materials did and what is required in Italy.
The authorizations extension for such different professions is made in accordance
with regulations established at regional level.

It can be noticed that both Italy and Romania have two professions falling under the
generic title of "Tax adviser / accountant" in Italy we find "Dottore commercialista" and
"Ragioniere, perito commerciale" and in Romania "tax consultant" and "Chartered
Accountant ". "Dottore commercialista" is equivalent to the chartered accountant, while the
tax consultant in Italy does not exist as distinctive profession, not even among the reserved
activities not included the accounting profession tax advice.
The legal profession Avvocato (under the generic title "Lawyer / Barrister / Solicitor"
in the IMI system) has reserved the activity of representation before the administrative
authorities including tax aspects (non-exclusive reservation), but not the tax advisory work.
Profession "Ragioniere, perito commerciale" might translate into novel "Accountant trade
expert" and can be compared with the profession of Chartered Accountants in Romania
because it is lower than the "dottore commercialista". Prior to 1997, the profession could
have been accessed by the graduates of technical institutes enterprise economy trade and
professional institutes (higher professional education), after a 3 year internship in accounting.
Since 1997, access to this profession was conditioned by the graduation of the enterprise
economy or law or political science or university. Since 2004, this profession was classified
in the group of unified "Dottori commecrialisti ed espert accountants" except that "dottore
commercialista" magistrate's degree (graduate classes from 64 / s to 84 / s) and "ragioniere"
"perito commerciale "is a graduate of the class of 17-28 vocational education and training in
Italy.
Under the generic title "Accountant / auditor", Romania registered the authorized
accountant (which is also accessible to graduates of secondary education, the title being
lower than the of Chartered Accountant), while Italy scored profession "Revisore accounting"
which is reserved for auditing activities, being equivalent to the financial auditor profession
in Romania, but IMI registered under the generic name "Company auditor."
The actuarial profession is regulated in Italy, is found under different names in
Romania - the COR are the occupations of actuarial advisor, expert actuary, actuarial
specialist inspector, reviewer expert actuary, actuary (higher education) in the core group in
2120, mathematicians , actuaries and statisticians and actuary in 3314 based group, specialists

The toursim department in Italy (Ministero delle Attività produttive, Direzione

national policies, Community relations and the relations with national agencies (Association

from which suggestions, initiatives for tourism result. In Italy there is a big accent put on
sustainable tourism on the natural and cultural heritage and relationship with the World
Tourism Organization in Madrid - permanent secretariat for implementation of the Code of
Ethics in Tourism. In this context appeared Adriatic Ionian Initiative developed - bilateral
agreements with other countries and federations of Tourism;
The main tourism professions are regulated in Italy: Travel Guide, Travel
Companion, Travel Technical Director and Animator. In Italy travel guide has a different
training and skills to Travel Companion. Travel companion accompanies the group and
provides only general information only. He must have knowledge of economics, geography
and general information in archeology.
Tourist guide has specific training on the national heritage, history, art, history art,
archeology etc., Is able to manage a groupto provide accurate information to make the tourist

to return to "educate" the group so that not evade objects, focus on safety archaeological sites,
is able to provide first aid, taking care that the tourstis are not hurt or injuried. For all these
the exam inlcudes the certification of the knowledge from different domains – geography, art
history, Baroque, medieval art, gastronomical knowledge, knowledge of professional
deontology etc.. No training plans at ministry level. Guide and the companion first get a local
empowerment for a particular province.
An impediment to the recognition of these qualifications is that in Italy a tour guide
should know at least two languages (written + oral exam), and not just one as set out in the
legislation of Romania.
So far there have been very few applications (3) of the Romanian citizens to settle in
Italy and practive the tourist guide profession. There were no applications for temporary
pursuit of Romanian citizens, but from citizens in Bulgaria, Poland, Czech Republic and
Slovakia.
In Romania there are several trainers certified by the ANC. The program is not
unique, but must respect specific occupational standard. In Italy there is a training at the
university level (eg University of Perugia), including master's degree programs in the field of
sustainable tourism, but formation depends on the region. For some regions require higher
education while others just Baccalaureate. At Masters, access is allowed by criteria
established by the university with wide autonomy. Bachelor graduates are accepted to law,
economics or other similar majors.
There are no degrees for the touristic guide. There is Alpine Guide, medium
mountains guide, mountain-bike guide, underwater guide, volcano guide (Sicily) etc., but
they are not tourist guides.
One of the issues that will be discussed at the next meeting in Brussels is: the ability
to verify that the temporary activity of a tourist guide in Italy is truly temporary, with the
precise location and the date.
Touristic animator organizes games, activities, events, etc. in holiday villages,
especially during the summer. There is no recognized centrally but only in some regions such
as, for example, Emilia Romana. Preparing the tourist animator is very diffuse. No specific
training needs. He needs to show more creativity in organizing events.

The competent authorities in tourism are at regional level. At central level, only the
title recognition is made. For the Italian citizens the recognition is done at regional level and
is valid throughout the national territory. After obtaining the title in a region, the profession
can be pursued in any other region. There are no regulations al central level regarding the
operating authorization. The Italian Alpine Club has a big contribution in this way.
The Technical Director is stipulated nationwide. There is also Tourism Innovation
Manager, whose training is conducted after the valid standards at european level. He can
practice as a hotel, restaurant, or pension director. In Italy agritourism depends on the
Ministry of Agriculture.
Another aspect is health tourism. There are more qualifications in the balneary
regions.
There is travel agent - the profession is regulated by the state, but the requirements are
covered by the regions. It is necessary at least the baccalaureate and at least two foreign
languages.

compared to those in Romania
2.4.1. Active authorities within IMI System
In Italy, the number of active authorities in IMI is comparable to the one from
Romania (table 2.6). Romania surpasses Italy regarding the professional qualifications
authorities (Directive 2005/36/EC) and the services one (Directive 2006/123/EC), but has
only two authorities when it comes for the workers detachment (Directive 96/71/EC) in
comparison with the 105 of Italy.

After processing the data presented in Annexes 1 and 2 a ranking of professions has
been created for which registered so far the most of the professional qualifications
recognition decisions in Italy of some applicaants fom Romania (table 2.10 and fig. 2.4). It
can be noticed that for the nurse professiona were solved more applications than for all the

3. CONCLUSIONS
Based on the presented in chapters 1 and 2, various conclusions can be summarized,
as it follows:
1. In this study a series of highlited aspects regarding qualifications recognition for
which there is a high number of applications from the romanian citizens (eg: nurse) or
for which there are big differences within the training between the two countries (as,
for example, cosmetician, hairdresser).
2. There are major differences between the education system from italy and the one
from Romania
3. The situation in Italy is characterized by the existence of public and private providers
of adult education for continuing training. Permanent Territorial Centres (CPT) and
evening schools and popular universities (Università Popolare) are the main
organizations focused on the promotion of adult education.
4. At the time of this study in Italy has not yet been implemented a national
qualifications framework in line with the European Qualifications Framework (EQF),
but the implementation process is in an advanced stage and is expected to be
completed during the year in 2013. In the Romania, the European Qualifications
Framework is implemented only for higher education, being created National Register
of Qualifications in Higher Education in Romania.
5. Italy implemented the Directive 2005/36/EC regarding the professional qualifications
recognition through the legislative Decree number 206 from 6th of November of 2007
– “Attuazione della direttiva 2005/36/CE relativa al riconoscimento delle qualifiche
professionali, nonche' della direttiva 2006/100/CE che adegua determinate direttive
sulla libera circolazione delle persone a seguito dell'adesione di Bulgaria e
Romania”.
6. In Italy there are 155 regulated profession, according to official data of the European
Committee regarding the unique european market.
7. As a main difference from Romania As the main difference from Romania stands the
management by the Ministry of Justice (Ministero della Giustizia) of a relatively large
number of different professions (Agrotecnico, Chimico / Chimico junior, Ingegnere
industriale etc.) t hat in Romania belong to other competent authorities. This is
justified by the fact that in Italy, the Ministry of Justice has been along time promoter
of many acts in various areas, traditional and historical reasons, a large number of
heterogeneous jobs remained under the authority of this ministry.
8. In the beautification sector the beautician qualifications (aestheticist) and hairdressers
(aconciatore) are required for recognition by Romanian citizens in Italy. But precisely
for these two professions there are major problems of recognition because large
differences in training between Italy and Romania. In the future this issue will be
amplified as now, in Italy there is a law project for requiring a 4-3 years of training
plus 1 year of preparation in order to work as an autonomous worker. There are

currently difficulties for the recognition of teachers in special schools coming from
Romania because in Italy there are no special schools
There are also difficulties in the recognition of qualifications of teachers and
educators that in Romania have been teaching high school (5 years), as in Italy these
professions require higher education. For those who are preparing now for the new
education law, there will be problems because they require higher education in
Romania, but for those who have been trained on the old system will continue having
recognition problems.
An important difference from Romania consists in the fact that in Italy Autorita per
L’Energia Elettrica e il Gas - AEEG (similar to National Regulatory Authority ANRE in Romania) has no statutory authority responsible for the training and / or
recognition of qualifications, but only energy market regulationa. Professions in
Romania are managed by ANRE (the electricity and gas) related to Italy by other
ministries, primarily the Ministry of Economic Development.
Another significant difference refers to the professions in Romania that are managed
by ISCIR (welders, crane operators, nondestructive testing operators, boiler
operators) and in Italy are subject to regulation at the regional level and at the firm
level.
The electrical professional categories professional in Romania are similar to those in
Italy. There were no reported problems on recognition in this area between the two
countries.
In Italy the engineering differs from the similar one in Romania. There are two types
of engineers in Italy and a category called Expert (Perito) industries that do
engineering work. Engineering work is not assimilated to the engineering degree. The
duration for expert degree (Perito) is 5 years industrial school. Junior Engineer title is
obtained after a course of higher education three years, followed by registration with
the Junior Engineer and the Senior Engineer requires higher education 3 years + 2
years and other state exam in order to sign up for senior engineer title.
In the medical sector we encounter the largest number of regulated professions, both
in Romania and in Italy, but through automatic system of recognition there are no
major problems in this area.
In Italy the professional maternal nurse and sign language interpreter are not
regulated professions, while in Romania these are regulated. However, However, in
Italy, the ministry of Labor has since 1994 an order and a registry regarding the blind
masseurs, established by national law, kept by the Service for labor, a relatively new
division. To this general Direction, taking into consideration that a new legislation
that replaced this masseur profession with the physiotherapist one, there are some
modifications in progress.The physiotherapist profession is of Ministry of Health`s
competence. In the last years in both countries, disability issues have been considered
as the competence of the Ministry of Health, although the problem is primarily a
social aspect.
15. The main tourism professions are regulated in Italy: Travel Guide, Touristic
Companion, Touristic Technical Director and Animator. In Italy the touristic guide
training and skills are different from the Touristic Companion`s.

16. Based on the IMI system`s official statistics, within the study a rankining professions
has been made for which registered so far most of the recognition decisions in Italy of
the professional qualifications of some applicants from Romania. For the nurse
assistant were more applications than for the other professions combined. Afterwords,
at a big distance, we encounter Physioterapist, Cosmetician, secondary education
degree I and II professor.
