What Is a Credential Evaluation?
A credential evaluation report compares your academic qualifications to standards in the U.S. or Canada. It helps higher education institutions, employers, licensing boards, and immigration authorities better understand the value of the education you received.
Credential Evaluations for Students & Immigrants
A WES credential evaluation can support your application requirements for university or college admissions, help you obtain professional licensing and employment opportunities, and be upgraded over time as you earn additional academic credentials.
