Thanks so much for the info AlbaTiVo,
I am not familiar with ECE? What does that stand for? Might you have a link for them? You read my mind about where I think he should apply though. I am enjoying my time at TESC, and TESC already has a relationship with his company, so that will help even more! What is the cost/amount of time to get ECE to evaluate and send their translation of my husbands credits to TESC? I can't WAIT to see what he gets! He thinks because he did take A levels that nothing will transfer. I don't know what the name of his level of education was, but he was in school for 2 years for music at Brigewater College (not a typo, its spelled Brigewater College according to my husband); but I think he has nothing to loose by applying. I am wondering if he had any bad grades if it would hurt his GPA? For example, all of my 2 year credits and community college classes transferred in as letter grades. I had mostly all A's which was a good thing, but alas my husband was 16 years old and played the guitar all day long, so his grades are a hodge podge of A's B's and C's. I think that might be another reason he's not into seeing that transcript transfer. Any additional tips? Since this is Sahara's thread, feel free to private message me if you think of anything else I should know/tell him.
Thanks so much!

AlbaTiVo Wrote:I did not use ECE, but WES instead, although I am sure the process will be very similar. Your husband would just have his college transcripts, as well as any A-Level transcripts, sent directly from the colleges he attended to ECE. You tell ECE that you want the report sent to TESC and they will send that directly. In the case of WES to TESC this was done electronically. He could be a lot closer to a degree than he thinks as I got 27 credits for my secondary school transcript alone.
