You need to look into education credential evaluation services right away if you’re thinking of going abroad for your higher education. Most people do not know what Credential evaluation is and can find the process confusing. Here’s all you need to know about it

What Is Credential Evaluation?

Credential evaluation is a process of comparing professional degrees from one country to their counterparts in another. They are used by colleges, universities, and even employers around the world to assess foreign education in applicants for admission to colleges or employment. It can also be used by immigrants for their overseas education in other countries to get recognition. This process can come in handy when applying for skilled immigration. International students also use credential assessment/ Credential Evaluation(1) services to submit courses and grades to foreign universities where they wish to seek admission. It helps them judge an applicant and his history to see if he is fit for the applied course or job. Many immigrants use credential evaluation from India to show proof of their studies completed outside the country they are moving to. It helps them join the workforce as skilled immigrants and sustain their livelihood right away.

What Are The Different Types Of Credential Evaluations?

There are mainly three different types of credential evaluations(2), and let’s discuss all three of them in detail to know more –
  • Course by Course Credential
  • Evaluation Educational Credential Evaluation
  • Professional Work Experience Evaluation
All three of them are different and fulfil different purposes. You should educate yourself about all three of them to know the one that would be ideal for you.

Course by Course Credential Evaluation

The course by course credential evaluation report analyses and defines every diploma/certification and gives an equivalency for each document, respectively. It displays the details of education, courses taken, final grades, degrees, and cumulative academic performance in terms of your host country’s educational system.

Since most people seek out an education in the United States, the country generally works in terms of semester credits and a grade point average on a 4.0 scale. A course by course credential evaluation is generally required for college admissions, determining transfer credits.

Educational Credential Evaluation

The educational credential evaluation report outlines and records the educational institutions attended and the education credentials that you have earned in a foreign country and lists their U.S. equivalent. It can be a bachelor’s degree, a master’s degree, a doctorate, etc.

Many educational credential evaluators India provide these services because the evaluation is frequently used in employment, immigration matters, and university admission. It is mainly used in places where transfer credit is not needed. You can avail the help of education evaluation services to ensure that your report is up to the mark.

Professional Work Experience Evaluation

The professional work experience credential evaluation is given for immigration purposes to people applying for H-1B visas in the United States of America.

This credential evaluation report assesses both an individual’s professional work records and educational credentials to ascertain a Bachelor’s degree equivalency. Note that a professional work experience evaluation cannot be utilised for educational or licensure purposes.

Importance of Credential Evaluation

A credential evaluation is required for educational institutions in a country majorly for the United States, Canada and many European nations. Credential Evaluation is used to evaluate and compare overseas academic achievements in accordance with the country’s educational norms and standards which is used by licensing boards, educational agencies, employment houses and immigration officials(3). You may also opt for credential service where a Credential Evaluation body stores your digital copy of evaluation report to facilitate candidates to submit the ECA report to any institute or university as and when it is requested to do so. An ECA report is prepared ideally within 2 to 4 business weeks depending upon the ECA body chosen by the candidate.

FAQs
What is an ECA report or Evaluation Report?

The report generated by any ECA body after evaluation of your submitted transcript/Degree certificate is called the ECA report or Evaluation report. There are different types of ECA’s and it is needed to get an ECA report for immigration purposes.

Do Universities recognise ECA reports or Evaluation reports?

No, not all foreign universities recognise the ECA report as it depends on many factors, mainly, the evaluation report differs from country to country, hence it is important to mention the country to which you apply to before sending your documents for evaluation to the agency.

What Our Clients Have To Say

I had a great experience for my WES in covid situation, when my college Annamalai University has strictly denied cooperation with any third party service on its website. I never had to follow up with WTS team and I got my WES report in just 15 days. This was unbelievable, thanks a lot. I have already recommended WTS to my college mates, and would recommend it to anyone in a heartbeat. Thanks again!
