Trustforte
is the world's leading provider of educational credentials equivalency
evaluations, analytical reports which determine the equivalency in the
US educational system of a candidate's foreign academic and professional
credentials. Our evaluations are recognized as among the most accurate
and informative assessments of foreign credentials by the US Citizenship
and Immigration Service, the US Labor Department, professional advisory
boards, international academic advisory organizations, and American universities.
A Course-by-Course
Evaluation is an in-depth analysis of all academic coursework completed
by the candidate. The course-by-course evaluation analyzes each course
completed by the candidate in the context of the educational system of
the foreign country, the reputation of the university, the subject matter
of the course, the credit hours completed, and the grade obtained in the
course. We then convert the coursework, credits, grades, and overall grade
point average attained by the candidate in the foreign institution into
the equivalent measures according to US standards. The course-by-course
evaluation concludes with a determination of the equivalency of the foreign
credentials in terms of US academic standards.
Documents Required
for a course-by-course evaluation: copies of all diplomas, transcripts,
and postgraduate degrees. Transcripts should specify, at a minimum, the
credit hours completed by the candidate and the grades obtained in the
courses.
Trustforte's turnaround
time for academic and work experience evaluations is the fastest in
the credentials equivalency field. While standard processing time is 3
to 5 business days, we can provide next-day service, and same-day service
often is available.
The content
of Trustforte's evaluations is unparalleled among credentials equivalency
firms. Each evaluation includes a review of the candidate's credentials,
a discussion of the university programs and courses completed by the candidate,
and a thorough analysis of the ways in which the foreign credentials are
viewed under US educational standards. Evaluations include the principal
reference sources on which the evaluator relied and the resumes of the
evaluators.
Trustforte's
evaluators and staff attorneys are knowledgeable in the laws
and regulations of the US Citizenship and Immigration Service (US CIS).
We are familiar with the different requirements concerning evaluations
at the various US CIS Service Centers and keep abreast of changes in US
CIS standards procedures for reviewing evaluations. All Trustforte evaluations
are prepared in accordance with the guidelines of the US CIS. The resumes
enclosed with the evaluations specify the qualifications of our firm and
our evaluators, as well as memberships in various educational organizations.
Our firm and its evaluators are members of various professional organizations,
including NAFSA: Association of International Educators, and the National
Association of Graduate Admissions Professionals. Our evaluators include
(1) an in-house staff comprised of foreign academic credentials experts,
university professors, admissions officers, guidance counselors, attorneys,
and experts in computer science, engineering, business, science, liberal
arts, and the fine arts; and (2) university professors and industry leaders
who are recognized authorities in their fields of expertise.
