Sweden: All legit university studies are found on antagning.se (there is also an English version of the site).
Secondary or post-secondary but non-university level, such as trade school or the Swedish equivalent of getting a GED, may be called vuxenutbilding (adult education), komvux or hermods (certain brand of adult education), yrkesutbildning (career education / trade school), yrkeshögskoleutbildning (yh-utbildning or yh-skolor for short).
A legit accredited education gives out diplomas, degrees, or will give out education that will appear in the "merits / grades" section of your personal page on antagning.se. For example, Medborgarskolan is a school, with real classes imparting real knowledge, but does not usually give out degrees or diplomas so you need to read each course description. TISUS is a Swedish test that does not give a real grade and is not from a specific school, but it is legit as it will appear in the merits section of your antagning.se profile.
If you search, Google will say that Swedac is the official accreditation agency for all of Sweden, however it is different from American accreditation in that it accredits things regarding safety control such as the drinking water purity and the automotive industry, not education.
Update: If you look at a Swedish university website it will not normally mention any kind of accreditation whatsoever. There is also no list of schools on the Ministry of Education or Skolverket (School Bureau) websites.
Update 2: A lot of Swedish degrees and schools have never been evaluated by WES. This seems to be because most people immigrating to the US have a PhD or and many schools don't offer PhDs. The majority of Swedish people probably go to the US on a family/spouse visa and don't require a degree check for immigration or work. I was the first to get one done by WES for my university and I have a Bachelor's.
