Judgment_paragraph 42 · Proceedings brought by A (C-634/20)

42That comparative examination procedure must enable the authorities of the host Member State to verify, on an objective basis, whether the foreign diploma certifies that its holder has knowledge and qualifications which are, if not identical, at least equivalent to those attested by the national diploma. That assessment of the equivalence of the foreign diploma must be carried out exclusively in the light of the level of knowledge and qualifications which its holder can be assumed, by virtue of that diploma, to possess, having regard to the nature and duration of the studies and practical training to which the diploma relates (see, to that effect, judgment of 6 October 2015, Brouillard, C‑298/14, EU:C:2015:652, paragraphs 55 and the case-law cited).
