    WES - Major not specified

    Hello, I hold a Bachelor of Science in Biology. When setting up my WES account, I accidentally left "Major" as "Not Specified" although it is written on my degree certificate that it is a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology. Will this cause problems with WES or will they just be satisfied...

    Degree translation for WES

    Hi all, My degree certificate (the actual parchment) is in Latin, and it sounds like I'll need to get it translated for WES. What should I ask my university for? Do they need to give me a whole new parchment in English, or do they just need to provide some sort of letter with the English...

    "Continuous" work experience...

    I would hope so, but don't want to be too optimistic! Are those numbers out of 10? e.g. speaking 7/10? I can definitely do that, as long as I remember to speak The Queen's English and not my native Irish version :D

    "Continuous" work experience...

    If I get the highest possible English scores in my IELTS, with 2-3 years experience, I'll be at 68, the minimum is 67. However, with 2-3 years experience, if I only get CLB level 8 in any area of the IELTS exam, I'll be scraping in with 67. I'm a native speaker but I don't want to assume I'm...

    Does the employer reference letter need to be dated?

    Hi guys, I'm considering applying for EE, and one of the things that may affect my application is that the employer of my most significant work experience may not provide details of my job description in the reference. Their standard reference letter just confirms job title and dates of...
