Foreign Education Credential Service

AACRAO's International Education Services provides evaluations of education credentials from all countries of the world assuring consistent treatment of those educated outside the United States. The extensive archives of over 35 years of evaluating foreign credentials enables IES to accurately research any educational credential in great depth.

All of the evaluators in IES have worked for a number of years at institutions evaluating foreign educational credentials for admission purposes. The average length of previous experience is 14 years, and none have less than seven years of experience.

The evaluation of foreign credentials by the International Education Services follows the placement recommendations approved by the National Council on the Evaluation of Foreign Education Credentials (CEC) when available. The Council is the only interassociational body in the U.S. specifically created to review, modify, and approve placement recommendations written for publications used by the US admissions community.

Our evaluations are printed on Verify First Technologies® paper in order for the user to know that they are receiving an original copy.

We offer samples of our evaluations for your review:

• Sample of Basic Statement of Comparability Evaluation (Printable.pdf version. Acrobat required)
• Sample of Course-by-Course Evaluation (Printable.pdf version. Acrobat required)

If you would like to request an evaluation, please download the applicable form and return it to International Education Services. If you have questions, please contact International Education Services at: 202-296-3359 or oies@aacrao.org

Our offices are located in a building which has limited public access, open only for employees who work in the building. Therefore, we strongly suggest that you mail, fax, or use a courier service (FedEx, UPS, etc.) to send your requests to AACRAO for evaluation.
