Comparative Education Service (CES)

Credential Assessments

The Comparative Education Service (CES), a division of the University of Toronto, is a Canadian- credential assessment service that has been in operation for over 40 years. CES assessment letters help Canadian employers, academic institutions and professional licensing bodies properly understand the equivalency of your international academic accomplishments. CES letters of assessment compare these qualifications to equivalent Canadian credentials, helping professionals to establish their careers. CES clients receive a customized letter of assessment giving an accurate comparison of their international educational credential to its Canadian equivalent.

CES is the only Canadian credential assessment service affiliated with a university, is recognized by the Canadian Information Centre for International Credentials (CICIC),and adheres to the General Guiding Principles for Good Practice in Assessment of Foreign Credentials and the Recommendation on Criteria and Procedures for the Assessment of Foreign Qualifications adopted under the 1997 Lisbon Recognition Convention.
