For Professional Regulatory Organizations
Do you need to know whether education obtained in other countries meets the educational standards required by your association?
IQAS can help professional regulatory organizations understand foreign credentials and how they compare to provincial or national standards. IQAS can help your organization make well informed, researched decisions when assessing internationally-trained and educated applicants for licensing into your association.
- IQAS assessment certificates simplify the process of assessing international applicants for professional licensing by providing clear, accurate and reliable assessment certificates that verify foreign educational credentials. For more information regarding our quality and process, see IQAS Assessment Process.

- IQAS can issue assessment certificates directly to professional regulatory organizations and their admission offices.
International Education Guides
IQAS has developed the International Education Guides (IEGs) as a resource for educational institutions, employers and professional licensing bodies. These guides are country specific and help facilitate and streamline the decisions that organizations make regarding the recognition of international credentials. For more information on the IEGs or to order your copies, contact the IQAS office at 780‑427‑2655.
Workshops
In addition to the IEGs, IQAS provides informative full day workshops on foreign credential assessment methodology for those who work in the field. These workshops provide participants with instruction on the assessment process as well as a manual with exercises. These are two types of workshops: assessment methodology and country specific. The assessment methodology workshop provides an introduction and overview of how to evaluate foreign educational credentials. The country specific workshop provides an in depth look at the historical background, education system, and grading system. Sign up here for more information on upcoming IQAS assessment workshops.
