University degree verification
Confirmation of undergraduate, postgraduate and doctoral degrees with the awarding university.
Education Verification
Validate candidates' academic credentials and identify discrepancies before you make an offer.
Overview
Confirm the qualifications candidates declare
Educational qualifications are often a requirement for a role, and a basis for the salary and level a candidate is offered. AMRU Consultancy's education verification services help employers validate that the degrees, diplomas and certificates a candidate lists are genuine and match the records of the issuing institution.
We contact the relevant universities, colleges, boards and institutions, and report what is confirmed and any differences found against the information the candidate declared.
What We Cover
Our education verification services
We can verify qualifications across the stages of a candidate's education.
College verification
Verification of studies and qualifications with the college or institution attended.
School education verification
Verification of school-level education, such as secondary and higher secondary, with the relevant school or board.
Diploma and professional qualifications
Verification of diplomas, certificates and professional qualifications with the issuing body.
Accreditation and recognition checks
Where applicable, checks on whether the institution or qualification is recognised by the relevant regulatory or statutory authority.
Course, qualification and passing year
Verification of the course or programme, the qualification awarded and the year of passing against the candidate's declaration.
Why It Matters
How education verification supports better hiring
Discrepancies in education details can range from simple data-entry errors to misrepresented or unrecognised qualifications. Verifying them before hiring lets your team understand the difference and address it fairly, rather than discovering it after the candidate has joined.
It also ensures that candidates who meet the stated educational requirements for a role are assessed on a level footing with others.
- Validate academic qualifications against the issuing institution's records
- Identify discrepancies in course, qualification or passing year
- Support roles where a specific degree or licence is required
- Treat all candidates against the same, documented standard
Please note: Verification depends on the response and records of the issuing institution, and turnaround times can vary. Where an institution cannot or does not respond, we report the status of the check as it stands. Checks are carried out with the candidate's consent.
