What if my documents are not in English?

A certified word-for-word English translation, signed with a certification of authenticity by the translator, must accompany any credentials not in English. If you cannot furnish a translation of your documents, ICD can provide an official translation of each document for an additional fee. ICD will accept translations of documents submitted by source agencies (such as transcripts and validations) only from the issuing authorities. Otherwise, ICD will translate documents for the appropriate fee.

How does ICD ensure the quality of its evaluations?

To ensure quality evaluations, ICD uses standards developed by a Professional Standards Committee made up of leading educators and practitioners in the field.
