What support can I expect from QC in the WES verification process? After uploading the certificates’ soft copies to QC, do I have to follow up with my educational institution for transcripts to send to WES? And if I missed uploading any required documents, would QC approach me?
Qualification Check’s standard procedure is to contact the primary source of the information. This is the institution at which you studied. QC will regularly contact the relevant department at the institution to confirm the authenticity of your qualification documents. We understand that applications are urgent, and we make every effort to accommodate your needs and expedite processes. Some institutions may take longer than others, but rest assured that Qualification Check is working hard to complete your verification.
If your personal mark sheets, transcripts, or credentials are valid, there is no need to contact your institution. You only need to share these documents with QC when the application is created, and QC will work with the institution that issued/awarded the credentials in your application on your behalf. If you do not have personal mark sheets, transcripts, or credentials, then you will need to obtain these to submit your application with QC and WES. If your institution requires any additional documentation to complete the verification after your submission, the institution will notify QC, who, in turn, will email you to let you know that your action is required and that you need to update your request.
I want to start my verification process with Qualification Check. Do I need to contact my university in order to get a verification?
If your personal mark sheets, transcripts, or credentials are valid, there is no need to contact your institution. You only need to share these documents with QC when the application is created, and QC will work with your institution on your behalf. If you do not have personal mark sheets, transcripts, or credentials, then you will need to obtain these to submit your application with QC and WES.
If you decided not to use the QC-expedited verification service, then you will need to have documents sent to WES from your institution following the normal WES application process.
Does Qualification Check send a report to WES to complete the verification process?
A QC Verification Report is sent to WES once your credentials are verified with the institution. The documents you provide to Qualification Check are sent at the same time to WES.
How do I know if WES is able to access my verification?
Qualification Check will email you once the verification has been completed. This is also visible in your QC portal.
Qualification Check reports are shared with WES upon completion of the QC verification process. This will be updated on your My Account page in the WES portal.
If any additional documents are needed once QC has shared the report, WES will send a notification to you which outlines what credentials do not have documentation.
Why would I use Qualification Check to verify my documents with WES?
The Qualification Check Expedited Verification process speeds up the overall WES evaluation process by taking your personal documents and verifying them directly with your institution on your behalf. This effectively eliminates the need for you to ask your institution to send documents directly to WES.
QC’s turnaround time for document verification is, on average, 3-4 days for most institutions. If you follow the normal WES process, the turnaround time varies a lot more widely since WES relies on the applicant to submit a request to the institution and on documents being sent from the institution to WES either electronically or by mail.
How fast can Qualification Check provide me with a verification?
Qualification Check has an established relationship with many institutions globally, and we have proven that we can typically process a verification much more quickly than the applicants can themselves. QC’s turnaround time for document verification is, on average, 3-4 days for most institutions.
