They do not have to issue proof of language skills to the Health Board. It is up to the employer to make sure that the employees meet the language requirements. The competent authority in this matter is the Language Board (Keeleamet) - https://www.keeleamet.ee/kontakt Kind regards, Liina Saar Service Manager – Recognition And Registration Of Health Care Professionals Department of Health Care Services +372 6509858 [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> Republic of Estonia Health Board +372 794 3500 [email protected] www.terviseamet.ee Paldiski mnt 81, 10614 Tallinn Estonia This e-mail meant for use by the person named in the letterhead.
