ECA - diploma/certificate course after 4 yr Bachelors degree

[hexa310]

Hello everyone,

I have a 4 year Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science from a Pakistani University and am exploring options to do a post graduate diploma (generally 1 yr duration) or post graduate certificate course (generally 2-3 months duration). Say I go for the certificate course,
1. Would I be able to claim 128 out 150 points for education in my EE profile using a single ECA from WES corresponding to "two or more certificates, diplomas, or degrees of which one is a program of three or more years" ?
2. If the answer to (1) is Yes then could anyone share their experience of going through this process with regards to the documentary proofs required by WES to evaulate the PGCert course.
3. If the answer to (1) is No then does that mean that I'd need 2 separate evaluations from WES for the Bachelors degree and the PGCert.
Or
Is it a No because WES doesn't consider a PGCert for ECA purposes and hence there would be no use of including the PGCert in my EE profile to claim more points (128/150 points for 2 certificates instead of 120/150 for the Bachelors only).

Would really appreciate any advice from forum members!
Regards.

Hi hexa,

Even if you have 2 degrees or one degree one certi, then also you would have a single wes reference number and all your courses would be linked to that one only.
And it depends on wes , how they evaluate your degree and certificate program. I would suggest you to do a proper research as to which certificate courses are recognised by wes. I donot have any knowledge about that.
