If you are an academic or a professional looking for credential evaluation from WES- World Education Services, then you have come to the right place.
Here’s the ultimate guide to understanding what WES is and how it operates so that you can get your evaluation as quickly and efficiently as possible. So let’s start with the basics!
What is WES?
World Education Services is a non-profit organization that evaluates international students’ and immigrants’ credentials in preparation for study or job in the United States and Canada. WES evaluates more than 100,000 cases per year, making it the largest credential evaluator in North America.
Along with providing credit evaluations of your academic transcripts, WES also helps immigrants integrate themselves into the workforce as well as offers financial aid to immigrant- serving organizations.
What is a WES Credential Evaluation?
WES authenticates foreign degrees and translates foreign transcripts in US or Canadian terms, which allow American universities to make informed decisions based on the reports regarding the admission process and credibility of international applicants.
Simply put, a credential review compares your academic achievements to standards in the United States and Canada. This report aids institutions such as schools, employers, licensing boards, and immigration officials in better comprehending your educational history.
Why is a WES Credential Evaluation report necessary?
The requirement for a credential review arises from the fact that each country’s educational system is unique. As a result, only a professional evaluation can provide accurate and precise validation of a candidate’s marks/percentage and degree.
