Note: An applicant from a foreign country who does not have a high school diploma or graduate equivalency diploma shall submit equivalent documentation from a credentialing agency. The Council does not endorse or recommend any particular credentials evaluation service.
However, you have the option to view a listing of “current member” organizations that may provide this service at https://www.naces.org/members. Upon selection of a credentials evaluation service, please request an evaluation that would determine whether your education is the U.S. equivalent of a high school diploma. Please request that the credentials evaluation service send your completed evaluation to this office at mqa.electrolysis@flhealth.gov.
Note: Although Translanguage provides translation services, it is not considered to be a credentials evaluation organization.
