Get the full picture on your candidates’ education experience abroad. We first go to the academic institution that granted the diploma, degree, or certificate to make sure that it’s valid. Using knowledge of local customs, our verification specialists attempt to verify the highest degree obtained and confirm other significant academic events.

International degree verification is essential when hiring:

Executives at global enterprises
Health care specialists with global experience

Verification may include:

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

Reviewing academic history is a largely accepted custom for hiring in the United States. However, it isn’t always common in other countries. For this reason, the availability of records and details about academic experience can vary.

Highly trained verification specialists call the degree-granting institution to collect information about the candidate’s academic history. Multiple attempts are made to reach the institution to receive the verification you need.
