Education verification background checks to validate experience.

We make finding the right individuals for a job position more streamlined and effective. Verified Credentials is your trusted partner for education verification services, helping your company mitigate risks related to fraudulent claims and build a trusted workforce.

Validate candidates with our comprehensive education verification background check.

At Verified Credentials, we take the time to assess the authenticity of the education and degree submitted by your applicants. We follow a thorough process of checking the education history to ensure they've completed the expected educational level for your company or institution.

Verified Credentials checks directly with the academic institution that granted the diploma or degree. Or, we verify the information with the authorized agent that archives the institution’s records. We make sure you get the full picture on your candidates’ education history.

When we come across inconsistent academic claims, we take the extra step to obtain additional documentation from the academic institution. If we discover that an institution is not accredited or the candidate never attended the institution, we research to find which organization may have provided the false document.

These verifications are:

A basic component for screening positions that require academic experience and/or degrees
Able to catch inconsistencies for commonly exaggerated information on candidate applications

Note: Fees may apply to some academic verifications in order to access data.

Verification options include:

Dates of attendance
Graduation date
Type of degree/diploma/certificate awarded
Majors and minors
Honors

Authenticate educational background with Verified Credentials.

With Verified Credentials, we ensure the authenticity of every educational claim on an applicant's employment. Our education and degree verification services encompass rigorous steps, including:

Checking directly with the school or academic institution that granted the diploma or degree.
Verifying relevant information with the authorized agent that archives the institution’s records.
Obtaining additional documentation from the academic institution in case of inconsistent academic claims.

The costs of verifying all diplomas and degrees may outweigh the benefits. Most academic institutions verify prior academic experience as a requirement for participation. So why waste your money? Unless a specific need or requirement exists, verifying the highest degree obtained may suffice.

Offices of the Registrar at some colleges and universities require a fee to access student records. Fees may also apply if the institution’s academic records have been outsourced to a third-party agent.

Our highly trained verification specialists call the degree-granting institution or authorized agent to obtain academic history information. We report each attempt to contact the academic institution in detail in your online account. This makes it easy for you to monitor the verification status.

Essential documents when conducting our education verification service include consent forms, identification documents, educational transcripts, degree certificates, and other relevant details.
