What is a foreign credential evaluation?
A foreign credential evaluation compares a degree, diploma or other academic credential earned outside the U.S. with the U.S. education system and certifies its U.S. equivalent. Employers, licensing boards, schools and USCIS rely on it to understand qualifications earned abroad. Validential delivers yours within 24 Hours, guaranteed.
More detail than a typical evaluation
A typical agency's Course by Course evaluation is 3 to 5 pages. Ours is 7 to 9 pages: besides your U.S. equivalent courses, credits, grades and degree, it describes the school you attended, our evaluation methodology, your evaluator's resume and the reference sources used.
Our General evaluation is 3 to 4 pages, where a typical agency's is 1 to 2.
