Title Evaluation

Homologation and Evaluation of Foreign Credentials

Title homologation is the process by which your studies conducted in another country are evaluated and recognized in the United States.

The situation

Does this sound familiar?

You studied in another country and your degree is valid there, but in the U.S. employers and universities don't recognize it automatically. Without an official evaluation, your experience stays invisible or undervalued. And which entity should evaluate it? There are several recognized ones — WES, ECE, SpanTran, IERF, among other accredited agencies — and they don't all serve every purpose equally: the one a university asks for isn't always the one a professional license or USCIS accepts. Part of our support is precisely choosing the right one for YOUR goal before you pay for the wrong one.
