A. There are three types of evaluation. The processing time is 10 days:
General Evaluation: $90 - states the US equivalency of the education reflected in the documents
received and an overall grade average can be included. This type of evaluation is usually suggested for
purposes of employment, visa or graduate admission (depending on the requirements of the particular
institution).
Course by Course evaluation: $145 - contains all the information of the General Evaluation but also
lists all secondary subjects and grades (where appropriate), university courses, grades and credits,
along with an overall grade average. This type of evaluation is suggested for applicants seeking
transfer credit but can also be required for graduate admission and some employment purposes,
specifically in the field of teaching and education.
CPA (Certified Public Accountant) Evaluation: $190 - is for purposes of sitting the Uniform CPA
Examination in the state of Massachusetts or for CPA Licensure in Massachusetts. It includes the
equivalency of the foreign study in US terms and lists the courses, grades and credits required in the
specific areas of Accounting and Business for the state of Massachusetts. All CPA reports require
English translations of any document issued in any language other than English. If applying for CPA
licensure, please include evidence from CPA board stating that you have passed the exam.
If request more than one type of service requested (Ex: a CPA evaluation and also a Course by Course
evaluation), please contact CED for information on fees.
