I recommend going with WES as they have a fast turnaround. ECA (Educational Credential Assessment) is the document you receive from WES. WES is an authorized body which evaluates your ECA.
Make sure to fill in all information as accurately as possible.
Hope this helps!!!

Your certificate in Business accounting should be evaluated as certificate program by WES
In order to give an idea about your Bachelor's I need to know the time period of study and the institution. Hope this helps!!!

All QCF Level 4 quals will be accepted by WES as 1 year course of study
Level 5 will be accepted as a 2 year diploma
Likewise your Bachelor's Degree will be evaluated as a 4 years Canadian Bachelor's degree.
All this depends on the authenticity and credit value of transcripts provided.

Based on the transcripts and prior credits to your top up degree your MBA will be evaluated as a Masters Degree by WES. Both PG Diploma and MBA certificates/transcripts will need to be handed over to WES in order to assess. Hope this helps!!!

Hello,my question is about credentials evaluation. As a Pharmacist graduate,which is the right body to evaluate my credentials. Is it ECA or WES?

Lots of posts on this forum about foreign trained pharmacists but you also need your degree evaluated by PEBC.

May I know the course details. Theoretically according to the UK framework all level 6 qualifications are regarded as year 3 study of an undergraduate course. So if you have claimed a total of 360 credits over the course of three years, WES will evaluate your credential as a 4 year Canadian Bachelor's Degree.

Hi Kency,
If you provide your prior learning transcripts such as your Higher National Diploma/ Advanced Diploma as well as your bachelors degree documents WES should evaluate your Bachelor's Degree as equivalent to a 4 years Canadian Bachelor's Degree.

In my case I did a Pearson BTEC Level 5 HND (240 Credits: 2 years) and a 1 year Top Up Degree of 120 credits (University of Sunderland). I provided both BTEC and University of Sunderland documents. My BTEC HND turned out as equivalent to a two years diploma and my top up degree was evaluated as a four year Canadian Bachelor's Degree.

Hope this helps!!!
