UK Visas and Nationality services are provided on behalf of the UK Home Office.

Ecctis offers a range of products, benchmarking, consultancy, and capacity building solutions to organisations around the world. Over 1,000 member organisations - universities, colleges, businesses and governments - use our services, training, and resources. We support organisations in recruiting the best students, skilled labour and professionals, and in developing their systems to make informed decisions and to ensure integrity.

Our Crown Copyright publication on international qualifications and education systems provides comprehensive information on 210 countries, former countries and territories worldwide. Key resources include comparability information for nationally recognised qualifications and lists of recognised higher education institutions for each country or territory. Information is regularly reviewed and updated to reflect the most recent developments and ensure continued accuracy and relevance. This wealth of high quality data supports the appropriate recognition of international qualifications and skills for thousands of individuals and hundreds of stakeholder organisations.
