• All documents, except for English language ones, have to be translated into German by an authorized, state-licensed translator.
• Your CV must not have any gaps, list all your periods of education or other activities without any break (or indicate a 'break', such as traveling).

• Please check every link very carefully and make sure that you've uploaded all the required documents (for example the school leaving certifiсatе).
