As the number and variety of candidates holding international
education credentials increases, your licensing body is faced with the
challenge of maintaining the necessary expertise to oversee the
complex, time-consuming and costly process of international
credential evaluation.
WES can help you meet this challenge. Partnering with WES
simplifies and speeds the process of assessing internationally
educated candidates, allowing your licensing body to focus on
other aspects of the screening and review process.
When you refer applicants to WES, you will receive - at no cost to your
association - an objective, reliable, and concise analysis of the candidate's
non-Canadian academic training. The WES evaluation authenticates the credentials and makes foreign educational credentials readily understood in
Canadian terms. This allows you to dramatically decrease the time it takes to complete the review process for these candidates. Your candidates, in turn, receive fast and affordable service and know that their education is being evaluated by an objective specialist in foreign educational credentials.
The Advantages of Working with WES:
- The WES system is user-friendly -- Efficient, reliable, convenient and affordable for you and your applicants.
- Cost-effective. Reduces administrative overhead by allowing your staff to focus on other aspects of the licensing or certification process. The cost of credential evaluation - a reasonable flat fee - is paid by the applicant directly to WES.
- Maintain full control of the process, with external support from our expert, service-oriented credential evaluation team.
- Direct access to extraordinary expertise and a global information network.
Your affiliation with WES signals to candidates, fellow professionals, and the public that
your credentialing process maintains the highest of standards, is fair to all candidates regardless of background, and rigorous in terms of upholding standards.
