      • The Association of International Credential Evaluation Professionals (TAICEP)

        The Association of International Credential Evaluation Professionals is an international professional organization that strives to develop and strengthen the skills and opportunities for credential evaluation professionals. As a membership organization, many of the resources are available only to paid members, though the fees are not particularly high, especially in proportion to the number of resources available: education system databases, online verification lists, training sessions, and newsletters. This organization is the preeminent source of collective information for the profession. Many other resources listed here may be redundant to those available on the TAICEP website.
