Turbo evaluation for employers

A turbo evaluation is appropriate when you have gone through the applications and selected potential candidates for the position. We make the evaluation after the employer has determined which applicants should be considered for the position.

We prepare a short evaluation that includes:

• Whether the education is accredited in the country in question.
• Whether the foreign education is equivalent to a Norwegian degree in the Norwegian education system.
• The discipline in which education has been taken.

We only consider completed higher education (education at the university and university college level).

NOKUT stresses that this evaluation is not a legally binding decision, but an opinion intended to assist employers.

• This service is only for companies that are in a hiring process. Companies offering recruitment and staffing services are not eligible for this service.
• We do not include work experience, unfinished education or short courses in our assessment.
• For turbo evaluations, NOKUT does not contact the educational institution to check the authenticity of the documentation. However, NOKUT will inform you if there are any discrepancies and/or reasons to suspect that the documents are not genuine. It is the employer’s responsibility to assess whether the applicant has the appropriate professional qualifications for the job.
• Turbo evaluations are only for use in relation to a specific position. The applicant is always entitled to apply for an individual general recognition of their education, NOKUT’s recognition of foreign higher education.
• All countries will be considered, apart from Afghanistan, Democratic Republic of Congo, Iraq, Yemen, Liberia, Libya, Sierra Leone and Somalia. We have a recognition service for those who cannot get their education recognised due to lack of, incomplete or unverifiable documentation. See the recognition procedure for persons without verifiable documentation (UVD procedure).
• The service does not include recognition of regulated professions, which are subject to authorisation from the competent authority. See the list of regulated professions.
