What an NCP declaration is not

The NCP declaration does not represent a substantive evaluation of your diploma. If you want a substantive evaluation, you should apply for a diploma description. Nor does the NCP translate documents. You can have any translations required carried out by a sworn translator. The NCP does not issue any declarations for educational programmes completed at senior secondary vocational education (MBO) level. For declarations relating to MBO programmes, contact SBB, the Foundation for Cooperation on Vocational Education, Training and the Labour Market.
