WES evaluates more than 200,000 credentials per year, making it the largest credential evaluator in North America.[3] By auto-authenticating and defining foreign education in U.S. or Canadian terms, WES reports although not binding[4] and not the last word allows employers, professional licensing boards and academic institutions to make tentative decisions regarding their foreign-educated candidates.[5] WES's proprietary database collects and stores information of academic certificates of more than 200 countries, 45,000 foreign institutions, 20,000 academic credentials. However, they do not have formal agreements with educational systems of any country and the kept certificates are voluntarily provided by the candidates, and they operate with third party motives. WES is accredited by and is a charter member of the National Association of Credential Evaluation Services (NACES)[6] and a member of the Alliance of Credential Evaluation Services of Canada (ACESC).[7] However, the U.S. Department of Education's website lists NACES and AICE as their only authentic foreign credential accrediting agencies for the country.[8] WES by its activities indirectly does business with thousands of universities, proprietary educations and colleges, providing credential evaluations, and aid in international professional mobility.
