Evaluations of foreign education credentials are used to determine the equivalent level of educational achievement in the United States for individuals who have completed their education in other countries. These evaluations are typically used for the following purposes:
1) College and university admissions: To determine whether an applicant meets the educational requirements for admission to a college or university in the United States.
2) Employment: To assess the qualifications of job applicants who have completed their education in other countries, and to determine whether they meet the requirements for certain positions.
3) Professional licensing: To assess the qualifications of individuals who have completed their education in other countries and are seeking professional licensing or certification in the United States.
4) Immigration: To determine whether an individual's education meets the requirements for certain immigration benefits, such as employment-based visas.
5) Other purposes: Evaluations of foreign education credentials may also be required for other purposes, such as scholarship applications or participation in exchange programs.
The type of Evaluation Report and required documents depend on the exact purpose of the Evaluation. It is always recommended to get the requirements in a written form from the intended recipient before applying for evaluation.
If the requirements do not state in the explicit form that Document-by-Document or Course-By-Course Evaluation is neccessary, it is always best to apply for a Course-by-Course Evaluation (the most comprehensive report).
