Slovenian Translation of Diplomas, Transcripts and Qualifications for Recognition and Admission

Priznavanje izobraževanja: recognition for study through the university

A Georgian school leaving certificate or degree used for admission to a Slovenian university goes through priznavanje izobraževanja za namen nadaljevanja izobraževanja, handled by the university itself as part of the application on the eVŠ portal. The university requires the apostilled Georgian certificate or diploma with the national exam results or the supplement, a certified Slovenian or English translation, and for some programs course descriptions; ENIC-NARIC Slovenia, within the Ministry of Higher Education, provides information and issues opinions on foreign qualifications when the university asks. Universities accept certified translations with our stamp for the application and require the apostilled bundle, usually with sodni tolmač certification, at enrollment. We translate the Georgian packet in the format eVŠ and the universities expect and coordinate the timeline with the application deadlines, which fall in spring for the autumn intake.

Recognition for employment: ENIC-NARIC Slovenia and regulated professions

A Georgian degree used for employment in Slovenia goes through vrednotenje izobraževanja at ENIC-NARIC Slovenia, which issues an opinion on the foreign qualification's level and field, or for regulated professions through the competent ministry's procedure for priznavanje poklicnih kvalifikacij. Doctors, dentists, pharmacists and nurses apply through the Ministry of Health, with the Zdravniška zbornica and the Zbornica zdravstvene nege involved, and typically face a period of supervised practice and an examination; engineers through the Inženirska zbornica; teachers through the Ministry of Education. Each requires the apostilled diploma and supplement, the curriculum with hours, proof of practice, and certified translations by a sodni tolmač. Georgian nurses and caregivers recruited by Slovenian hospitals and care homes are the largest group, and our medical translators, who are physicians, translate clinical subjects using the terminology of Slovenian medical and nursing faculties.

Slovenian university admission and student permits

Georgian applicants to the University of Ljubljana, the University of Maribor, the University of Primorska in Koper and the University of Nova Gorica apply through the eVŠ portal, uploading certified translations of the school leaving certificate with national exam results, or the diploma and supplement for graduate programs, and language certificates (Slovenian at the required level for Slovenian programs, which most are, or IELTS and TOEFL for English-language programs). The student residence permit at the Upravna enota requires the admission letter, proof of funds, health insurance and the Georgian conviction certificate translated by a sodni tolmač. We translate the full Georgian packet in one business day and prepare the enrollment set for re-certification.

Slovenian degrees for recognition and employment in Georgia

A Slovenian degree used in Georgia - for a work permit, for a teaching, medical or engineering position, for admission to a Georgian master's or doctoral program, or for recognition at the National Center for Educational Quality Enhancement - must be apostilled by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and translated into Georgian and notarized in Tbilisi. We translate the diploma, the priloga k diplomi, the potrdilo o opravljenih izpitih and, when recognition is sought, course descriptions. Slovenian medical graduates should expect the recognition body to ask for the specialization certificate and Zdravniška zbornica license; engineers for the Inženirska zbornica registration. Graduates of the Slovenian bolonjski system with its diplomirani, magister and doktor titles sometimes need a translator's note explaining the structure to a Georgian committee, which we provide.

School certificates, student letters and vocational qualifications

Slovenian families in Tbilisi enroll children in international schools or Georgian public schools with spričevala and potrdila o šolanju translated; Georgian families moving to Slovenia need Georgian school records translated for the school and, where required, for recognition, which places the child in the right year. Students need potrdila o vpisu and student status letters in the other language for permits, banks and health insurance. Georgian workers going to Slovenia with vocational qualifications - welding, construction, hospitality, driving - need their certificates translated for employers and, where a regulated trade is involved, for the competent chamber; Slovenian vocational certificates (spričevalo o poklicni maturi, mojstrski izpit) used in Georgia are translated and notarized for Georgian employers.

Motivation letters, recommendations, CVs and timing

Georgian applicants to Slovenian programs ask us to translate or edit motivacijska pisma and življenjepisi to Slovenian or Europass conventions, and to translate priporočilna pisma while preserving the signature block; doctoral candidates need thesis abstracts and publication lists translated, and researchers collaborating with Slovenian institutions use our editors for articles. Native Slovenian editors with academic backgrounds handle these texts.

On timing: eVŠ application deadlines fall in spring, recognition procedures take weeks to months, sodni tolmač re-certification a few days, and the apostille on a Georgian diploma can take up to five business days. Start the apostille early, since the apostilled diploma is reusable, and ask for a digital certified translation first so you can upload it while the paper originals are in process.
