Employers and recruitment agencies

Understanding qualifications from overseas

We can help you compare international qualifications from over 200 countries, former states or territories with the equivalent levels of UK qualifications. We can also help you authenticate qualifications and detect fraud.

Our information databases offer 24/7 online access to more than 4,000 international qualifications, with clear comparisons to the UK's frameworks, and sample certificates to help with fraud detection. It is the largest information bank of international qualifications in the world. Choose your package and gain access to our databases via web browser, with options for inclusive training and support.

Our International Grade Comparisons database is designed to help universities, colleges, employers and professional bodies identify the brightest and best individuals from across the world by comparing grades from overseas awards to UK qualifications.

Visa and immigration

Our Visas and Nationality Service has been developed in conjunction with the Home Office’s Visa and Immigration division. Many employers and recruitment agencies supporting migrants through the immigration service use our statement services to support applications.

Verification services

UK employers 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 qualifications are increasingly important in areas such as immigration, employment and professional recognition.
