CER to undertake evaluation of foreign educational credentials from mid-2009

The Center is to offer services in the evaluation and interpretation of foreign educational credentials. From mid-2009, the Center will absorb the work previously undertaken by Marquess Educational Consultants, a foreign credential evaluation firm established in 2005 by the University President, and will therefore build on an established reputation in the field. The Center works particularly with the most complex and difficult cases in credential evaluation, and provides consultancy and expert opinion on an advisory basis. Since 2005, the business that has now been taken over by the Center has provided over 1,500 expert opinions on education for use before the United States Government Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS) and consulted on over 10,000 cases. 

At present, the Center will accept requests for evaluation only from existing clients, and not directly from the public.
