Last updated
An education verification validates the disclosed education of an individual. Typically, the standard is to verify the highest degree, unless otherwise requested. Certn verifies degree(s) received, course of study, and dates of attendance when available. This is verified directly with the institution(s) listed which includes through their electronic repository that holds the records if required.
Certn makes 3-5 sufficient attempts to obtain source data for verification and reports back accordingly. A sufficient attempt can be defined as an attempt which could reasonably lead to a result. Additional fees apply when a school utilizes an outsourced entity to provide data.
