Spantran Evaluation

Professionals relocating to the USA often need a SpanTran evaluation or similar credential evaluation services to have their foreign education and qualifications recognized. The primary reasons for needing this evaluation are:

1. Equivalency of Foreign Degrees: Many employers, licensing boards, and academic institutions in the U.S. require that foreign degrees be evaluated to understand how they compare to U.S. educational standards. A SpanTran evaluation translates the foreign degree into its U.S. equivalent, which is essential for assessing whether the professional meets the requirements for employment or further education.
2. Professional Licensing: For professions such as medicine, engineering, or law, a credential evaluation is often required to obtain a license to practice in the U.S. Licensing boards use these evaluations to ensure that the individual’s education meets U.S. standards for that profession.
3. Immigration Requirements: In some cases, the U.S. immigration authorities may require a credential evaluation as part of a visa application, especially for work visas like the H-1B. This helps prove that the applicant has the required level of education for the job they are seeking.
4. Academic Admission: If the professional plans to continue their education in the U.S., colleges and universities may require an evaluation of their prior education to determine their eligibility for admission and potential transfer credits.
