We provide transparent pricing information to help you budget accordingly.
Navigating Documentation Requirements: What Do You Need?

We make this step as straightforward as possible by providing clear guidelines by country of education on our documents and requirements page. From academic transcripts to professional certificates, we outline exactly what documents you will need to submit and how to securely send them to us.
Translations and Waivers: Simplifying Language Barriers
For documents issued in languages other than English, translations are required. However, we offer a translation waiver option with a small fee for certain types of reports. And ECE allows you to translate your own documents, as long as they are word-for-word. You do not need to spend money on an official translation. Our goal is to streamline the process and ensure that language barriers do not stand in the way of getting your education recognized.
Application Process and Scope: What's Included?
When you are ready to submit your documents for evaluation, our application process makes it easy to get started. Simply fill out the necessary forms, submit your materials, and make your payment. It is important to note that while we evaluate academic work and educational credentials, we do not assess work experience as part of our services.
