The flat fee covers precisely what makes self-managed files fail: the qualification of the effective manager. A foreign diploma goes through equivalence recognition, experience without a diploma through employer certificates, to be gathered and, where needed, translated by a sworn translator, EUR 500 excl. VAT per translation on our formation grid.
