Qualification Verification

[Englishsammy 17]

Has anyone done this yet with a UK degree (and teaching qualification)? If so which company did you do it with and was it straight forward?

 

Thank you!

f this is employment focused I would ask the Employer what if anything they require.

I didn't do it for a teaching degree but for my bachelors I had to get it verified through WES the world education services. This was the only service the board for my speciality accepts. It may be that if you work in an international school or British school they may accept uk degrees anyway.

Thank you, I had looked at WES so I'll use them. Just wanted to hear of others opinions! I need to re take my credential in California so I need to get everything verified first.  Most schools even private here want you to be working towards your credential so I just need to get it done.

 

Was it simple enough with our degrees being 3 years and theirs typically 4? I have heard some people had issues with that.

Did you see the list California provides of acceptable companies for evaluation?

Yes, thank you! I just wanted to see if people had any recommendations. I'll go with WES because it seems the most universal.

I’d be curious to know how it turns out for you…the three vs four year degrees and such. I know US degrees have a general education with some required maths, literature, lab sciences, history, social sciences, etc plus the courses in the major study.  
 

Please come back and update this thread.

I will, I've put it off for a couple of years because I didn't feel like the stress if they wouldn't accept it but now my youngest will be heading to school soon, I can't keep sticking my head in the sand.  Years ago I remember someone saying that they sent their A level transcripts and they accepted that as the first year of college type classes which is interesting. I'll just send everything from high school and hope for the best. I'll post an update!  

 

My husband received his Masters of Social Work from England and we had to do all of that through the Board of Behavioral Sciences and it was quite the process but eventually they accepted it and he's now a licensed clinical social worker (after completing that process of supervision here etc).  It's more generic for teaching, they just use the big companies like WES.
