Organizations Filed Purposes:
To promote the betterment of individuals' lives and society by ensuring that educational qualifications are fairly and accurately recognized across borders. ECE serves persons who have completed part or all of their education outside of the US so that their educational qualifications are properly recognized when they seek employment, professional licensure, further education, or other benefits for which education achievement is a prerequisite.
ECE provides evaluation of educational credentials for persons who completed part or all of their education outside of the United States. 32,776 requests for reports were received from clients in 2020. ECE prepares evaluation reports that determine the equivalents of foreign academic work. The evaluation reports are used for further education, professional licensure, employment, and in other situations that require an administrative decision based on academic credentials. Our reports ensure that the education of people around the world is understood and put to good use. Reports facilitated the appropriate admission of students into undergraduate, graduate, and professional degree programs. Our reports helped dentists and pharmacists and other health professionals enter the practice of professions to the benefit of neighbors in their new country. Our evaluations have helped parents obtain jobs so that they can better support their families. Owing to ECE properly assessing the education completed in other countries, our world community benefits from the efforts and energy of those whose education would otherwise have been unrecognized and gone to waste.
ECE provides training programs for the staff of colleges, universities and other organizations that require detailed information on foreign educational systems and the methodology and principles of foreign credential evaluation. The training provides knowledge and skills needed to make informed decisions on the academic admission, professional licensure and employment of international students and others who have been educated outside of the United States. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic our outreach had to be quite limited in 2020. Approximately 21 people received training through 3 E-Learning sessions. We were unable to conduct our 2-day Essentials training program in 2020.
