Professional organizations include NAFSA: Association of International Educators, the American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers (AACRAO) and The Association for International Credential Evaluation Professionals (TAICEP). FIS has been a leading provider of foreign credential evaluations since 1978. Our reports are routinely accepted by universities, major companies, licensing and certification boards, the U.S. Department of Defense, and the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service. FIS evaluators are members of NAFSA: Association of International Educators and the company itself is a corporate member of the American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers (AACRAO). FIS is a Founding Member of the National Association of Credential Evaluation Services which was established in 1987 to promote excellence and set standards for the profession of foreign credential evaluation in the United States. Evaluation reports prepared by NACES® members are judgments based on appropriate reference material, including current research. NACES® member organizations examine documents for accuracy and authenticity, contribute regularly to industry publications, conferences, and databases, and provide industry training to higher education professionals. The Foundation's evaluations serve as suggested guidelines and are advisory in nature. Under no circumstance does the Foundation desire to encroach on the individual autonomy, residence requirements or internal policies of educational institutions. The Terapia Ocupacional transcript was verified by the institution. The remaining documents submitted were photocopies. Only the authorities in the profession may determine an individual’s qualified professional status in the United States. The materials used in this evaluation include the World Education Series AACRAO (American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers) publication titled Colombia, the NAFSA: Association of International Educators Workshop Report titled The Admission and Academic Placement of Students from Latin American (Countries): Brazil, Central America, Colombia, Venezuela and information provided by the respective educational institutions in Colombia and the AACRAO Electronic Database for Global Education (EDGE).
