World Education Services (WES)
Step-by-step guidance on how to apply for, pay and process your WES credential evaluation.
World Education Services (WES) evaluates international academic qualifications so they can be recognised in other countries like the United States and Canada.
Many people need a credential evaluation, often called an Educational Credential Assessment (ECA), when applying for immigration, higher education or certain jobs abroad. This assessment helps institutions and authorities understand how your qualifications compare to their local education system.
