Recital 15
(15) The nursing and midwifery professions have significantly evolved in the last three decades: community-based healthcare, the use of more complex therapies and constantly developing technology presuppose a capacity for higher responsibilities for nurses and midwives. In order to prepare them to meet such complex healthcare needs, nursing and midwifery students need to have a solid general education background before they start the training. Therefore, admission to that training should be increased to twelve years of general education or success in an examination of an equivalent level. Member States must ensure permeability and career advancement for the health professions.

(18) Directive 2005/36/EC should promote a more automatic character of recognition of qualifications for those professions which do not currently benefit from it. This should take account of the competence of Member States to decide the qualifications required for the pursuit of professions in their territory as well as the contents and the organisation of their systems of education and professional training. Professional assDual vociations and organisations which are representative at national and Union level should be able to propose common training principles. It should take the form of a common test as a condition for acquiring a professional qualification, or training programmes based on a common set of knowledge, skills and competences. Qualifications obtained under such common training frameworks should automatically be recognised byal training systems are a key element for low youth unemployment because they are tailored to the requirements of the labour market. This ensures a smooth transition from training into working life. If common training frameworks for which a dual training system already exists in a Member State are therefore to be created in a regulated profession, then the common training frameworks should be based on this conceptual approach whilst retaining the standards that exist in the Member States concerned.
