ENEB Master Thread

[BadSquirrelBeta]

Hi all - long-time super lurker here, LOL, and ENEB student.

Actually, just today I shipped via electronic means, of course, the materials to Validential for evaluation of my ENEB MBA degree.

Thank you to those who've gone before and shared their experiences with Validential and other ENEB experiences and outcomes. I had some very wonderful support in DMs with a few of the influencers on this thread, thanks again to all of you that took the time to correspond! It was so helpful to read and re-read the forum and various posts. Appreciate all the time and conversation!

If anyone is curious how the end result comes in from Validential I'd be glad to share--me included if the eval for my MBA comes in differently and not RA Masters as previously seen from another contributor. Wait and see for just a few more hours, I'm guessing.

Here is a link to the the latest listing of ENEB Fees for Administrative Procedures sent to me today (12/30/2022)

My reasons for seeking degree translation is merely for employment, topping off 30 years in a wide range of community and human services, and continued professional development. If this were 10 to 15 years ago I wouldn't have been able to take advantage of ENEB as the opportunity is now designed and presents.

As a current resident of Washington State, (hopefully not for too much longer though - empty nesting means house is getting sold for a cute condo, no yard and no more big SUV driving on the I5 corridor lifestyle out of state -- FREEDOM LOL) the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction requires NACES should a candidate want to have an undergraduate degree from outside of the US or Canada to apply for a K-12 teaching certificate.

And, here's a little help in case anyone may be wondering about employment in the K-12 educational space in WA State as a teacher seeking a certification.

I haven't looked super hard for acceptance of degrees in WA State should someone want to get into a college degree program at any level, other than Washington State University is NACES required as well.

For candidates trying to obtain their first Washington certificate, the evaluation is required in addition to the application packet (4031). Individuals who have completed study and/or degree(s) in Canada do not need to complete a foreign credential evaluation.

The office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) will accept translation and evaluation services from
members of the National Association of Credential Evaluation Services (NACES). For a list of evaluation
agencies, information regarding NACES, membership criteria, and NACES’ guiding principles of good practice for
educational credential evaluation, please visit http://www.naces.org.

Your foreign documents must be evaluated to determine:
 Whether or not you completed the equivalent of a U.S. bachelor’s degree.
 Your degree major/subject area.

The above can usually be determined with a document by document evaluation from an approved agency.
Individuals who are unable to obtain verification from their university using the Teacher College Recommendation
(Form SPI 4030) will need to provide a course by course evaluation of their foreign documents.

I anticipate I will have another Validential eval done for the Big Data and Business Intel program I just completed with ENEB as well in the near future. Again, I am glad to share.

Best of luck to all the students, scholars and lifelong learners and contributors engaged in this online community.

Validential is apparently accepted by the Illinois State Board of Education for an educator license. Click on the "Foreign Credential Evaluation Sources" link here; https://www.isbe.net/Pages/Educator-Lice...ation.aspx

The Louisiana Department of Education also accepts Validential as a foreign credential evaluator.

Such a statement is a good sign that they may be more flexible than others. Whenever in doubt, asking via email or phone call can get you a definitive answer.

Obviously, it would be ideal for a NACES/AICE member to give a regionally accredited master's degree equivalency to ENEB degrees. However, until that happens, Validential is still a good foreign credential evaluator for ENEB graduates.

Agree 100%%!!
