Whether you need to outsource some or all of your current credentials verification process or need support setting up an evaluation program for the first time, we can help.
Credentials Verification and Evaluation for Regulatory Authorities
How much does your credentials verification process cost you today?
This is our core business.
For nearly 50 years, we’ve been providing credentials verification, evaluation, and certification services to support the career mobility of nurses and other allied health workers seeking entry to practice in a new country. We understand that minimum standards for training, credentialing, and clinical practice exist to protect the public good and promote patient safety. It is our job to ensure those standards have been met through rigorous verification and evaluation of a candidate’s identity, academic records, certifications, licensures, and job experience.
With a growing critical shortage of nurses and health workers, there is a global demand for skilled, work-ready care team members. Foreign-educated nurses can be an answer to that challenge if the right process is in place to evaluate their training and skills. We can support your internal operations and help you streamline and improve your overseas applicant process.

Who pays?
In most instances, we administer these services on behalf of the regulator and in alignment with their requirements, but the applicant pays us directly. However, we can work with a client team to find the best approach to program management that would support a regulator’s goals for lowering costs, eliminating overhead, streamlining processes, and/or sustaining revenue.
