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 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.
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,
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
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.
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?
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.
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 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 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 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.
I am full of appreciation for their work. My questions were answered promptly by the 2 ECE staff I talked to, the report was done very quickly and fairly and I received it earlier than I expected. Aside their low pricing and excellent customer service, they did exactly what they said they would on their website. Their services are outstanding.
I just had my educational credential evaluation completed by ECE. I had a good experience and thought you might be interested in learning more about them. Check out their site at ECE.org.
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 have been working with evaluating for a while and I can say that ECE is the greatest company ever! They are so helpful! They make the customer experience individual and always resolved all my issues. I recommend them to everybody! I was requesting several copies and always got them on time. My evaluations were done within 2 weeks without any problems. ECE continuously working on improving its service and there is not a single complaint I can make. I had a lot of trouble with schools to receive the copies, so ECE was even sending a contact information to them! What is more, once ECE returned my money for the report as they informed me about the online service! That was amazing! Thank you ECE for being there for us! I appreciate all the work you do and your customer service is excellent!
The mail courrier says that my documents arrived at ECE a month ago and they did not do anything up to now. I have no idea what is happening, as they also do not answer the messages I send through their website. And I have paid in advance, as they require. I missed many deadlines because of this delay. I would NEVER use their services again. They are just not reliable.
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 $350 evaluation of your hard earned work, they'd have the respect to put some effort into researching and evaluating the actual institution you went to. (To make matters worse, they wouldn't even look at my institutions schedule and curriculum when I offered it up for a second review…and have since refused to answer any emails). Save your money and avoid having to duplicate work you've already paid for and completed and find a university that accepts your credits…or find an evaluation company that will respect them. I would personally recommend Josef Silny & Associates, Inc, who, in my experience, charge half the price and put in double the effort to get you the credits you deserve.
I think this is probably the worst experience I had with any service.
There is the absolute need to choose a delivery address for the hard-copy (which is completely useless in 2020) and it's very costly for people outside of the US (60$ really? Is the queen gonna deliver that?, as if the service is not pricey enough). On top of that, an operator kindly suggested to select a US based delivery address so that the delivery cost was minimal if I did not care about the hard-copy. When I did so, the payment method kept erroring out, but my credit card was still charged, so all my funds were blocked. The cherry on top is the 2 hours long queue to speak with a $#*!ing operator... CONGRATS! Amazing customer service, absolutely disgusted. It should be 0 stars but it doesn't allow it.
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.
I'm so disappointed with this company name ECE. I sent my original papers a month ago because of the pandemic schools right now are closed. I didn't have another option than to send them my originals. They promised they will send them back with not problems. Until now I haven't received my Original papers. Now they are blaming the USPS for the package missing. USPS never received a package. Label was created but ECE never send anything. Now they don't want to answer the phones and are not taking any responsibility for the missing paper. I dont recomend or trust this company with important papers.
Answer: Don't give them your originals, you may never see them again.
Answer: The are open but usually make you wait on hold for 45-90 minutes and are likely to hang-up on you while you wait.
