Equivalence of Titles
At B-Out AG. We advise and manage, through our strategic allies, the equivalence of the degree obtained in Colombia or Latin American countries.
Do you know what the equivalence of Titles is?
The equivalence of the degree is the official recognition by the US and Canada of the training completed to obtain a foreign degree. By requesting the equivalence of your degree, you will be able to practice your profession regularly with a work permit in these countries.
This validation or equivalence, as it is also known, is done after an evaluation that allows the foreign credentials to be homologated with those that exist in that country.
There are different companies to do it, but we recommend and work with some in particular.
The most common types of evaluations are:
- General analysis
- Analysis by course
- Analysis by divisional course
- Nursing course analysis
- Course analysis for teachers
- Course analysis for engineers
