Verification services
Professional, regulatory and sector bodies face a constant challenge from the growth in education fraud and fake certificates and documents. Over the past two decades fraud has become a worldwide problem, as academic, professional and occupational qualifications and training are increasingly important in areas such as immigration, employment and professional recognition.

Improve uptake or expand your membership base by getting your qualifications/designations better understood
With a vast range of professional and sector specific qualifications/designations available and increasing global mobility, it is more important than ever that organisations offering professional, regulatory, sector-specific or occupational training and awards are able to reassure their students, members and stakeholders that their qualifications will be recognised for the purpose of further study, employment or professional registration.
Our benchmarking services
will boost the understanding of such awards, which in turn can lead to enhanced stakeholder recognition and/or further development.
Expert support
If you need more information, advice or opinion, our team of expert credential evaluators can help you to understand more about education, training and professional systems from outside the UK.
