ECA

Educational Credential Assessment (ECA) verifies the equivalency of foreign educational qualifications against local standards. It ensures that degrees and diplomas earned abroad meet the educational requirements of a specific country. This process is crucial for immigration, employment, and further education. ECA provides a detailed report on the credentials, helping institutions and employers understand the educational background of applicants more accurately.
