How FCSA can help state boards and licensing agencies?

In order to maintain standards and credibility, certification and licensing bodies must rely on international credentials agencies to base their evaluations on careful research and on a set of widely accepted and endorsed standards. Foreign Credentials Service of America bases its research and standards on the placement recommendations approved by the National Council for the Evaluation of Foreign Academic Credentials. The use of these standards ensures that your applicants will be held to carefully considered benchmarks that have been approved by a constituent body that includes:

AACRAO: American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers  www.aacrao.org

NAFSA: Association of International Educators  www.nafsa.org

CGS: Council of Graduate Schools  www.cgsnet.org

College Board: collegeboard.com

ACE: American Council on Education  www.acenet.edu

AACC: American Association of Community Colleges  www.aacc.nche.edu

Dr. William Paver, our Director, has spent the past twenty-five years administering one of the largest university based international admissions offices in the country. The Graduate and International Admissions Center (GIAC) at the University of Texas at Austin processes over 10,000 international applications annually and is considered a model office in the United States and is particularly noted for the quality of its work in international admissions. Dr. Paver has been involved in this process serving on the National Council for the Evaluation of Foreign Academic Credentials for two terms. Dr. Paver has also been a leader in the field, authoring books that have become standard texts and serving on the boards of NAFSA, TOEFL, and AACRAO, where he has been made an honorary member.

FCSA provides licensing boards competitively priced evaluations of high quality and general acceptability with a quick turnaround time. Our staff is highly knowledgeable and available to speak with you personally and will respond to requests for information and assistance.
