The process

How we homologate your degree

Six clear steps take your foreign nutrition degree to a legally recognized French Diététicien status.

01

Verify Degree Equivalence

Confirm your nutrition degree aligns with the French BTS/BUT Diététique standard.

02

Gather & Apostille Documents

Collect degree, transcripts, criminal record, and obtain apostilles and sworn translations.

03

Submit Authorization Request

File your dossier with the French Ministry of Health (Direction Générale de la Santé).

04

Undergo Qualification Assessment

Authorities compare your training to French standards and identify any compensatory measures.

05

Complete Compensatory Measures (if required)

Pass the aptitude test or supervised practice period assigned by the commission.

06

Receive Authorization & Start Working

France protects the Diététicien title under the Public Health Code — here's what you need.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to homologate a Nutricionista title in France?+
The administrative fees charged by French authorities are relatively low, but costs accumulate through apostilles, sworn translations, and potential language tests. Bookahospi provides a transparent cost breakdown upfront so you face no surprises.
How long does the Diététicien homologation process take in France?+
Without guidance, the process can take 18 to 36 months due to document delays and assessment queues. With Bookahospi's structured process, most clients reach authorization in 10 to 18 months.
Is 'Nutricionista' a legally recognized title in France?+
No — 'Nutritionniste' is not a legally protected title in France and anyone can use it. The protected regulated equivalent is 'Diététicien', which requires official authorization under the French Public Health Code.
Can I work as a Nutricionista in France without homologation?+
You cannot legally practice or use the protected title 'Diététicien' without official authorization. Practicing without it exposes you to professional and legal risks.
Which French authority handles Diététicien homologation for non-EEA nationals?+
The Direction Générale de la Santé (DGS) within the French Ministry of Health handles authorization requests for non-EEA paramedical professionals. Bookahospi knows exactly which department and documentation each application requires.
Do I need to speak French to homologate my nutrition degree in France?+
Yes — a minimum French B2 level is mandatory and is verified during the authorization process. It is recommended to obtain a recognized certificate such as DELF B2 before submitting your dossier.
What is the aptitude test (mesures compensatoires) for Diététicien in France?+
If your training differs substantially from the French BTS Diététique, authorities may require you to pass an aptitude test or complete a supervised practice period. Bookahospi provides preparation materials and coaching to help you pass.
Is a Latin American Nutricionista degree equivalent to the French BTS Diététique?+
Many Latin American nutrition degrees are 4–5 years and cover comparable competencies, but formal equivalence is assessed case-by-case by French authorities. Differences in clinical dietetics hours are the most common source of compensatory measures.
Do I need an apostille on my nutrition degree for France?+
Yes — your degree and supporting documents must be apostilled under the Hague Convention or legalized via the French consulate if your country is not a signatory. All documents in a foreign language must also be translated by a sworn French translator.
Can I work part-time or on a CDI contract as a Diététicien in France?+
Yes — once authorized, Diététiciens in France commonly work on CDI contracts with the standard 35-hour working week, in hospitals, clinics, or private practice. France offers strong employment protections and work-life balance for healthcare professionals.
Does Bookahospi help find Diététicien jobs in France after homologation?+
Yes — Bookahospi clients get immediate access to a curated board of CDI and CDD Diététicien job offers across France. We connect your authorization timeline directly with employer opportunities.
What happens if my homologation application is rejected in France?+
Rejections usually stem from incomplete dossiers or missing documentation rather than the degree itself. Bookahospi's pre-submission review significantly reduces this risk, and our team supports you through any appeal or resubmission process.
Are there additional costs during the homologation process?+
Yes, there are generally additional costs related to the legalization and validation of documentation (Dataflow, License). The amount is not fixed as it depends on the type of documents and the specific requirements of each case. Our team will review your documentation and inform you at each stage of the corresponding cost. Applies to all professions except medical specialist.
