What Is an Academic Evaluation for Employment?

What Is an Academic Evaluation for Employment?

An academic evaluation for employment tells a U.S. employer what your foreign degree equals in American terms. It confirms that you meet the minimum educational requirements for the role, so HR can compare you fairly with U.S.-educated candidates.

Why You Need an Academic Evaluation for Employment

Why You Need an Academic Evaluation for Employment?

Most U.S. employers cannot verify a foreign degree on their own. An evaluation lets HR confirm that your education meets the job requirements, read your academic background in a standard U.S. format, and follow internal hiring policies for international candidates. Without one, HR may hold your application until your credentials are clear.

What Your Employer-Ready Report Includes

What Your Employer-Ready Report Includes?

Your report gives a clear statement of U.S. degree equivalency, for example Bachelor's, Master's or Doctoral level, and converts foreign credits and grades to U.S. academic standards when applicable. You can forward it to HR, or we email it to your employer directly at no extra cost.

Evaluations for Work Visas, Licensing and Hiring

Our evaluators are familiar with PERM and other employment-based filings, and they document how your education translates into a U.S. degree. For H-1B petitions, we also offer a dedicated education evaluation. Foreign resumes and professional licenses can be translated by our professional translators in the same order.

Check with your employer first.

This service is absolutely top notch. I was hesitant at first but the online messenger assured everything would work out. My project was to translate cursive Spanish to English. 100% satisfied. I've already used them for a second document and nailed it again.

I submitted a document for quote. I got a quick quote. After I paid the invoice, the translation was done within a day. I received an email that my translation was ready and it also contained the download link. The service is quick, personal, and comprehensive.

I had my diploma translated by Juguo Zhang and received it back in less than 12 hours. The translation was professionally done and even officially notarized. On top of that, the pricing was very reasonable. I’ll definitely use their service again in the future.
