What Is an Academic Evaluation for Employment?

An academic evaluation for employment verifies that your foreign education is equivalent to a US degree. Employers use these reports to confirm that you meet the minimum educational requirements for the job. This ensures fairness and consistency in hiring, especially when candidates come from different educational systems around the world.
Each employer may have different preferences for the type of evaluation they accept. Before ordering, we recommend checking with your employer to ensure MotaWord’s report meets their requirements. If you’re unsure, our experts are available 24/7 to guide you in selecting the right evaluation.

Why You Need an Academic Evaluation for Employment

A credential evaluation for employment helps your prospective employer:


  • Verify that your education meets US job requirements.
  • Evaluate your academic background using a standardized US framework.
  • Ensure compliance with internal hiring policies for international candidates.

Without an official evaluation, your foreign credentials may not be fully understood or accepted, potentially delaying your hiring process.

About Employer Acceptance

While MotaWord’s evaluations are widely accepted by US employers, we recommend confirming with your prospective employer whether a NACES- or AICE-member evaluation is required.
MotaWord is not a member of NACES or AICE, allowing us to offer equally professional evaluations at lower prices, delivered faster and with full transparency.

I sent my documents for translation, and within just a few hours, they completed the translation and emailed it back to me. I was expecting to receive it the next day at best, so getting it so quickly made everything much easier for me. I was also very impressed with the professional format and attention to detail. Thank you so much! I highly recommend their service.

Excellent translator and translation of my birth certificate. I did a birth certificate translation with a notary in person and the translation was not accurate, but with MotaWord everything was exactly how I needed it. Thanks to all the MotaWord team. God bless you all.

You guys did not translate my handwritten name on the card, but after I chatted with an assistant, she helped me and corrected it right away, kudos to her.
