"Time wasting, borderline extortion."

EDIT: The company was eventually too late sending the certificate we needed. We submitted the application without it. It was successful. So, complete waste of money.

Firstly - no point recommending or warning off this company. If you're applying for a UK visa/citizenship you really have no choice but to pay them just short of £200 to look at your degree documents and declare 'yes, this person speaks English'. But this insane Home Office bureaucracy isn't Ecctis' fault. Other things are their fault though.
My wife submitted her Dip.Ed documents, and 1 week later we got a message saying this wasn't a recognised degree. Fair enough - we immediately submitted her BSc documents instead, as requested. More than a week passed with no update. Then a status update saying 'Yes We Can Do', and nothing else. Then after contacting them to see what was going on, we got another message saying the same thing - 'the Dip.Ed is not valid, but the BSc might be. So....would you like us to look at the Bsc...?' At this point I'm seriously wondering where our £180 has been spent.
We reply - YES, please do your thing with the documents that you asked for and that we provided immediately! By this point, we only had two weeks until our appointment with UKVI. And then another week later, 48 hours before the appointment, we get a message saying it's going to take another 9 days, BUT, if we fancy paying double or triple, we can have it quicker.
So, either this company deliberately plays games to try and extort the fast-track fee, or it's grinding its poor staff into dust with so much demand that their reasoning and response times are completely shot. Either way, it's been a truly infuriating and ludicrously expensive experience.

"Waste of time"

Although I have provided them with all the documents that they have repeatedly requested, they still couldn't recognize my diploma. It has been 5 months since my first application and all these time I was back and forth with emails between them and me and the school. There was always an excuse for more documents, transcripts etc. which I managed to find and provide to them. So frustrating, so disappointing and such a waste of time.

"Not trustworthy"

A six year degree in Medicine in University of Tirana in Albania is evaluated as a 2 year Higher education Diploma. The evaluation is based only on the name of the degree "Diploma in Medicine with title General Practitioner", not in the program. I graduated in 2003, in Albania and the word "Diploma" was used for any degree of duration of 4-6 years). The new system of naming qualifications based on Bolognia process came in force the year after 2004 in Albania. I got a document from Ministry of Education in Albania stating that my qualification is at Masters level. This wasn't considered by UK NARIC. I called them and their reply was that maybe I was taught in a college rather than university, the reason for evaluating as Higher education diploma.
Therefore, my conclusion is that UK NARIC bases their evaluation only on the name of the qualification not on the program.

"Stay away from these scammers"

Stay away from these scammers. They only collect money. All they can say is 6 year M.Sc degree elsewhere is comparable to 3 year UK Bachelors degree. Since when?

"Long time to have a response"

Since 2018 I can't have any response.
This year enquire got replied 7 weeks later aslking for documents, sent the same day.
Then today, after two months and two update requests by email, I am trying to phone (already 4 times today) NARIC but nobody replies and then the line drop.

It is a shame that nobody cares about foreign workers coming into Ireland.

UPDATE: after this review someone replied to my fifth call of the day and now going further with my application.

I think you have problem with your internal management system instead of trying to make me feel guilty, try to reply to enquiries in a proper way.

UPDATE: once replied to my enquiry they were quick and professional. The main issue seems to be the way they use their CRM system.

"Stay away from this scam of a company"

This company is honestly an absolute joke and scam. My case has been going on for over 6 months and I've decided to terminate it. This institution shouldn't even exist. They take the money and when they say they can't do the service it's non-refundable .

There's a lack of clarity in terms of what I needed from the start and there were just messages going back and fourth. Please stay away from them because once you start it's a never-ending battle which will take months.

"Hello all,"

Hello all,

1st of all I would like to thanks Ms/UK NARIC. Its was really awesome experience with them.They are very transparent and quick if you upload your proper documents.I am glad to get my documents.
lastly I wants to thanks Miss Ned for follow up my request.
I definitely recommend them.

"Excellent service"

Recently I have applied for English proficiency assessment through NARIC. I was very much worried after seeing the reviews and ratings. However NARIC team did their best. I was given completion date as 19th of March but they have completed the assessment by 16th and I have received my certificate on 17th of March. Would like to thank Hanh for being so support giving me confidence that I have sent them all the necessary documentation. Just small advice every country education system is different so if NARIC team mentions what all documents should be submitted it would be more helpful. I would definitely recommend UK NARIC...

"Excellent! Would highly recommend NARIC"

I have recently requested NARIC diploma comparison and I couldn't be happier with the service. I have received full certificate within 2 weeks after the payment. It was easy and smooth process.

"Better avoid them"

A bit disappointed. Took them two weeks to say that can't accept my bachelor's degree. Would be better if you have a list of the countries/uni that you would accept before paying for the service.
