Finding information on foreign education titles can be a tough job: what in one country might be regarded as a masters degree can be a doctorate level in another one, so whether you are planning to apply for a scholarship in a foreign country or work in a HR department and have to review lots of CVs from people from around the world, Wes.org can be of great help. The company researches schools and grading systems from around the world and translates degrees and skills levels into the American system, so that one can easily visualize what the real educational level of the person in question is, and get a certificate to explain that in simple terms, without confusing or misleading capitalization. These certification services have a cost for the applicant, whether that is a company, an educational institution or a person, but for those of you out there who just need to get a quick reference, Wes.org offers a sort of conversion chart for free by signing up to the site. Since a large part of the company’s target audience is students and immigrants who want to have their academic achievements acknowledged as such, a big part of the site is dedicated to providing information on the kinds of jobs that require board certification in the US and providing tips to write a résumé; other audiences, such as educational institutions and employers are also catered for by providing articles and extensive background information on educational certification.
