Online chat with a real person is available every weekday. You can even talk with the evaluator who prepared your report if needed. We return all messages within one business day.
We've streamlined our process to complete our reports in an average of just 5 business days. This is the fastest in the field.
We use our more than 400 years of combined experience and an average of almost 12 years each, an unsurpassed reference library of over 35,000 publications and files, and service to more than 600,000 applicants.
These core values are integral to everything we do. We are driven to deliver on our mission to "promote the betterment of individuals' lives and society" with the highest quality and a compassionate approach.
We are dedicated to serving our customers, keeping our costs competitive, and giving back to those in need. Our ECE® Aid charitable initiative provides free reports to refugees and others who need a little help.
ECE prepares reports based on the documents considered official in the country in which they were issued. We require the most secure and reliable educational documentation available. But, we know that there can be challenges in some countries. Therefore, our Documentation Requirements vary by country.
We are proud to be a recipient of the Better Business Bureau 2018 Torch Awards for Ethics!
"ECE has been helpful! I joined the National Guard with a higher pay grade and the rank of Specialist because of my college degree from Mexico. They checked and validated the transcript from ECE, and it was all good. Eventually I will use this evaluation for further education."

"Born, raised and educated in Australia, I chose to travel the world once I completed my undergraduate degree. Some years later, I decided it was time to further my education and found myself in the U.S. I heard horrible things from fellow international students about trying to get degrees "converted" to American equivalents ... thankfully, ECE made it quick, easy and completely painless. The results were just what I needed."
- Beck Lamb, Australia
"I compared many and found ECE's process easy and economical. I got my evaluation report within 30 days time in a well-packed envelope with all my originals back. Good evaluation report format, timely services. I achieved my objective. Keep it up."
