Professional Licensing and Certification

Professional licensing bodies generally require a credential evaluation. A WES evaluation can help speed up the licensing/certification process. The WES ICAP: International Credential Advantage Package, helps licensing bodies gain a better understanding of your international education by sending your verified transcripts with a WES evaluation report in one complete package. If you are interested in sending your verified transcripts with your evaluation, please request the WES ICAP service.

Candidates should always check with the licensing body to find out what type of credential evaluation is required. Most licensing bodies require a WES Course-by-Course evaluation.
