We recommend contacting your university’s administration or academic programs in advance to initiate this process. The duration of assessment may vary depending on your institution and the chosen evaluation service. It’s crucial to directly request your transcripts (official documentation of course marks and credits earned from a post-secondary institution) and credentials (official documents indicating program completion or academic level, often a certificate, diploma, or degree) for assessment purposes.

 

Please note that the assessment process might take several months or weeks, so initiating it in advance is advisable to avoid any delays in your educational or professional pursuits.
