Amazing project

For me, it was my biggest dream to be able to recover my hard work. Through this company, I could compare my degrees. One of the best benefits is that it shortened the long way to achieve my dream of continuing my studies in the UK. They are a really great company.

Complaint against (Chris)
Hello ,i had a very great experience with you especially with (Megan, Hannah) the call handler, i called you on 7th of march unfortunately i had my with Chris the worst ever in the world, very impolite person with a challenging manners, he keep say we are not a translation company when i asked him ,you say much better than that if you say we can't provide you with translated documents as it might be for internal usage, he just replied with very awful way again we are not a translation company, i asked him to talk to the manager he said no, the website was offline as i called morning around 10:15 am 7th of March, your website was down, he said no it is not !!! I was omg this is unbelievable, person very rude and bad behaviour, i bet that this wasn't the first time, I had the pleasure to deal with Hanna and Megan ,fantastic service by both. I am raising an official complaint against this Chris ,i am urging his line manager to listen to the phone call.
Am afraid i will post my experience everywhere to encourage as much as i can from other people had the same treatment by him to raise this is issue, again am asking to listen to his awful call with me.
I promise i will do my best to get things right.
Thanks

Sam - we're sorry that you have experienced some issues regarding your application, and your customer service experience.

I note that you had a few queries:

- grading comparisons. These are not provided on the evaluation. We outline on the website that we provide an overall comparison level of the qualification against UK education systems.

- website link. A link issued via email was temporarily inactive which has since been resolved. We acknowledge that this was inconvenient, and that we should have provided alternative guidance to access your account.

- Translation Waiver Service. For the reference of other applicants reading this review, we would like to clarify that as per the information on our website, we do not provide translations of documents as part of this service.

The Waiver service waives the requirement for individuals to provide certified translations as part of the document requirements when submitting an application to us.

We have listened to the recorded phone call, and sent you a personal response via your account, to confirm the findings of the complaint.

We apologise for any inconvenience caused by the temporarily inactive website link, and that the service provided was below our usually high standards. Feedback has been provided to the team member as a result of the call.

Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback about your experience.

Kind regards

Avoid NARIC – A Complete Scam & Discriminatory Process!

I have had the worst experience with NARIC (now known as Ecctis) when trying to get my degree and baccalaureate equivalence. I submitted my documents twice, and both times, their evaluation was completely flawed, incompetent, and discriminatory.

🔹 Blatant Discrimination Against Non-European Qualifications
Despite having a Baccalaureate in Languages, they refused to recognize my English level as GCSE-equivalent simply because I come from outside Europe. Meanwhile, Europeans with barely any English skills get GCSE English recognition without question! How is this fair? This is clear discrimination against non-European applicants.

🔹 False & Inaccurate Equivalencies
The first time, they completely messed up my diploma evaluation. I studied languages, but they gave me a science equivalency! I had to pay AGAIN to correct their mistake. How can a so-called "recognized" institution make such basic errors?

🔹 Lack of Knowledge About International Diplomas
They demanded transcripts for my Conservatoire diploma, only to later say they couldn’t evaluate it! A National Conservatoire Diploma is recognized worldwide, but somehow, NARIC is clueless about it?

Then, they refused to recognize my Foundational Diploma, which is a nationally recognized exam in my country and has a curriculum equivalent to GCSEs in the UK. The truth is, they simply do not want to acknowledge that some countries have a far better education system. We are fluent in four languages effortlessly, yet they refuse to accept that our education holds more value than theirs.

🔹 A Government-Recognized Institution That Doesn’t Understand Diplomas
For an official organization, their lack of understanding of global education systems is shocking. Instead of properly assessing qualifications, they devalue non-European diplomas and deny rightful recognition.

💰 Save your money and don’t waste your time! 💰
NARIC/Ecctis is nothing more than a money-making scam that fails to provide fair and accurate assessments. They need a serious overhaul to stop this discrimination and segregation. I will not stop speaking out until this unfair system is changed!

Appreciate prompt response

My name changed after marriage that was the reason it takes a bit more time than usual. However, I really appreciate the prompt response from the UK ENIC team when I sent them the requested documents.

Very responsive and professional team. I made a mistake in my application. The team well spotted that and contacted me within 3 days to ask for my clarification. Got my certificate within 7 days. Amazing service overall. Worth the price if you are still uncertain about it.

Thank you for your review, Chidinma

We have tried to contact you via Trustpilot but have not received a reply.

Could we ask you to check the star rating that you have left, as this does not seem to match the positive comments you included in your review?

1 star is poor experience, and 5 stars are a fantastic experience.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.
