The Finnish National Agency for Education does not issue decisions regarding the eligibility as an architect. Either the Finnish National Agency for Education or another competent authority in the relevant field may issue decisions on the eligibility provided by a foreign qualification for positions that have statutory qualification requirements. These positions are referred to as regulated professions. Architect is not a regulated profession in Finland.
Although the profession of architect is not regulated, there are other regulated tasks related to building design in Finland. The authority responsible for granting eligibility for these tasks is the Ministry of the Environment or a body authorized by it. If you are applying for eligibility for a building design task, you do not need a separate decision from the Finnish National Agency for Education.
