World Education Services 1.7

World Education Services (WES) is a non-profit organization that evaluates international education credentials, helping individuals obtain degrees and educational qualifications from institutions outside the United States and Canada.

A WES evaluation is often required by employers, educational institutions, licensing boards, and immigration authorities to assess the equivalency of foreign education credentials in a U.S. or Canadian context.

The process involves submitting your academic documents to WES, who then evaluates these documents according to their guidelines, comparing them with U.S. or Canadian education systems and issuing a report.

WES offers several types of evaluations including Document-by-Document evaluations and Course-by-Course evaluations, each catering to different needs for academic, professional, or immigration purposes.

The evaluation process typically takes about 7 business days once all required documents are received; however, processing times may vary based on demand.
