Educational Credential EvaluatorsReviews 41

I sent my official electronic transcripts to the ece from my university web portal. And ece didnt even updated at status and even they didnt send a mail or something? Where we cannot understand either they received or not or atleast I tried to communicate with the customer care but its useless what should i do totally very bad experience and time and money waste.

Do no use this agency. Others will accept scans of your degrees. Do not send them your original degrees, they will still demand that your university sent a copy by 'sealed mail'. This agency will waste vast amounts of your time and money! They charge upfront, unlike others, and once they have charged you they will tell you they cannot proceed without 'sealed documents' from your university.

Absolutely terrible I was reading the reviews about ECE and I didn't believe what people were saying but ECE it turns out it was true. I was wondering why they finished evaluating my document in less than 3 days because all they do is COPY and PASTE, and seems no effort is been made. I am very disappointed I paid $250 for the Course by Course they don't convert the grades into the U.S. grading system, also they'll give you less CREDIT. And they gave me low GPA than the school have gave me. I hope I get that $250 back.
Time waster, spend money, copy and paste, and scams.

I HIGHLY DON'T DON'T DON'T RECOMMEND IT.

Thank You

I do not recommend this company for university degree evaluation "International Education Research Foundation, Inc."

I had a very bad experience with ECE evaluation service. They are not properly checking the names in the certificate. Just simply preparing based on the name what we have requested. Simply waste of money. Please go for a good evaluation company.

ECE report was easy to start, but quickly became a real nightmare. The report was completely subjetive and was not accurate. I tried to reach out, prove with offcial papers but they were unflexible and cruel. I almost lost my job, but thanks to WES report and accurracy I didnt. Friends advice: Dont go with ECE!

I won't tell any details for my own sake but I managed to send them my certificates and transcripts with a higher degrees and a fraud stamp. Voila! I got my report perfectly fine which was several years ago. Thanks to their incompetency I got accepted in a good US school with their credentials and I am done. So, I cannot tell it was a bad experience. All I did was to manipulate my grades in a fordged paper and stamp of my own but my degree was real, I wonder what if I evaluate a complete false degree?
Thanks ECE anyway for your crappy work.

Thank you all for your reviews I almost made the mistake of spending money with these people. Their price are doubled by the time I was supposed to check out. My god look a these reviews I can imagine being in these people situation after spending my money

I would stay aware from this company at all costs. They have convinced many institutions that, in order to accept international credits they need to be "evaluated to American standards," but the standards, at least in my case, are a sham. They copy and paste the transcript (or a translation of one) and devalue the credits…all on the basis of broad generalizations rooted in your country's entire academic performance in the field you are majoring in. Their standards would be akin to a French institution only accepting a fraction of Harvard credits because there are community colleges in the US whose academic standards are less. You'd think that for a $350 evaluation of your hard earned work, they'd have the respect to put some effort into researching and evaluating the actual institution you went to. (To make matters worse, they wouldn't even look at my institutions schedule and curriculum when I offered it up for a second review…and have since refused to answer any emails). Save your money and avoid having to duplicate work you've already paid for and completed and find a university that accepts your credits…or find an evaluation company that will respect them. I would personally recommend Josef Silny & Associates, Inc, who, in my experience, charge half the price and put in double the effort to get you the credits you deserve.

My suggestion is that you guys go with a different agency. The people that do the evaluation don't have any solid knowledge of the educational system in the European Union or South America. For them, a diplomado or Experto Universitario is part of the undergraduate studies and not postgraduate studies. HORRIBLE JOB and ignorance approach...

STAY AWAY FROM IGNORANT APPROACH

I had very bad experience with this agency, they didn't evaluate my 4 years university with enough credit hours to make me qualify to continue my education.
After I paid the application fees, Amy M. The evaluator demanded an extra fees with $50 in separate email! I paid this but still she gave me very low credit hours! I don't recommend this agency,

I am not satisfied with the evaluation they've made for me. I earned a license degree in 3 years of college which is the equivalent of a us bachelor's degree. The ECE has evaluated it as associate. How's that possible?

Most unprofessional University Credit Evaluating Agency that has ever existed in the United States!. The Customer Call and Customer Chat Support is equally rude and extremely unprofessional.

They do a wrong evaluation and suck your money especially if you are an international student. Their Customer support even has the guts to laugh out loud during the chat and they disconnect at that very moment without addressing and resolving the issue.

IF YOU ARE AN INTERNATIONAL STUDENT WANTING TO TAKE UP HIGHER EDUCATION AT A US UNIVERSITY THEN NEVER WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY ON ECE.

Never Waste Your Time and Precious Money on ECE. Go for WES!

I received a course by course evaluation. ECE were very slow producing it and when it finally arrived it was full of errors. ECE seemed to have very little idea about education equivalencies in the UK and did not ask for clarification. For example, as part of my bachelor's degree I completed an exchange year under ERASMUS. ECE recorded NO CREDITS for this year, wiping out a whole year of study which was completely wrong as it was an integral part of my degree course. I do not understand why they did not ask the institution if they were not sure how things were handled/graded. Another example was my law school credentials. I finished law school with a very high distinction from one of the top institutions in the UK. But ECE did not understand how my courses were graded or the weight given to each course and without asking the law school about it they just made their own unilateral decision about the manner of grading and they got it wrong. I had to go back to ECE to get the evaluation re-done. To be fair they did do it for free but I never got an apology and they still refused to correct the mistake as to my law school results and it wasted a lot of precious time when I was making applications. At least one deadline was missed. I also really hate that they have no one available to reach by phone. Everything is done by text service. It is a terrible service and very expensive for what it is. Wish I had gone elsewhere.

Awful company. I received the evaluation report of my French diplomas and was really shocked how they lowered my final grade. I've tried to explain and asked them to be logical but all in vain. They don't answer any question as to how they justify this nonsensical GPA, but send instead some meaningless emails, invariably starting with « Dear Irina,… ». They won't admit their fault and issue a new report, their answer is cancellation and refund. I don't have any time right now to restart the whole process with another evaluation company. My advice: avoid this company, especially if you are graduated from a French university.

I applied to Ece in May 2021 to evaluate my High School certificate from my school in the Caribbean and I must say they were impressive and professional.
Ece website is very customer friendly and direct, got my evaluation in time and they kept their word on delivery. I would highly recommend Ece to anyone.

I went to 2 colleges in Europe. The Irish transcript went fine, the French transcript was completely screwed up. ECE could not accept help from the French institution or from the study abroad agency to align their evaluation with other US institutions, the French university teaching the courses or the US institutions relying on their evaluations. ECE was just all knowing and oppositional. ECE could not correct their mistakes or accept help from others when they made mistakes. They are really a disservice to the community. They delayed my graduation by 6 months and denied me 6 college credits for an entire summer in France studying the French language and culture in which I received an "A".

I am a dentist in my country, I got back my transcripts and the only class i can transfer is physiology, because the rest don't meet the credits at all. They don't really go through the process of actually evaluating transcripts from another country

I do not think they are aware of the evaluation system in Germany. I had to explain how it works, step by step. That means, I almost should do the job I paid for.
Even worse, I think they cannot read with attention since they were not capable of seeing my grades in a huge column called "points".
The equivalence processes does not fit. Many collegues with the same degree received different, accurate reports from WES.
What did ECE answer me? "You may accept the judgments made in ECE evaluation reports, or in WES' reports, as you see fit."
I would do it if I had not paid for them.
My mistake was not having read the reviews before having chosen ECE.
Please, stay away from it. Do Not put your money, your time, and patience away.
