Kwalifikowani

Kwalifikowani is a Polish adjective formed from kwalifikować, meaning to qualify. In Polish, kwalifikowani is the masculine personal plural form of kwalifikowany and is used to describe people who have met specified criteria in education, training, profession, or service. The feminine and neuter forms differ (kwalifikowane for feminine and neuter plural). The term is typically used with a noun in attributive position, for example kwalifikowani pracownicy (qualified employees), kwalifikowani żołnierze (qualified soldiers), kwalifikowani kandydaci (qualified candidates). In many contexts it can be used interchangeably with wykwalifikowani, though wykwalifikowani is often perceived as slightly more formal.

In legal and administrative language, kwalifikowani may designate groups granted rights or eligibility based on meeting qualification criteria, such as professional licenses, examinations, or training. It does not denote a separate category by itself but describes a status or condition of meeting certain standards. The term appears in job advertisements, public tenders, and policy documents to identify individuals who meet required qualifications and thereby qualify for specific opportunities or protections.
