ENIC Statement

Enic is the fastest way in the UK to have a comparability statement. The service was really fast, I applied Monday and got my statement the week after; the customer service was amazing as well. They let me know any extra documents I needed and communication through the chat service was convenient and easy.
Highly recommend to anyone who has done any education abroad.

Thank you for your comments and review.

We provide information on our website about the document requirements, and instructions on how to upload the documents can be found within the user portal, guiding you through the document upload process.

Should we need anything further from you, our Information Officers will advise you through the online account.

We do advise on our website that we cannot provide grade comparisons - The Statement of Comparability service is designed to provide guidance on the comparable level of qualification. We also provide guidance on the Statement of Comparability that it should be accompanied with the transcripts or marksheets for the qualifications covered - enabling institutions to better understand your grade achievements.

We hope this clarifies the nature of the service, however please reach out to our customer service team if you still have any questions.

Fast and professional service!

I recently used UK ENIC for my Statement of Comparability and was very impressed with the turnaround time. I received my documents much sooner than I expected. The process was straightforward, and the communication was clear throughout. Highly recommended if you need your qualifications verified quickly!

We're delighted that you're so happy with the service.

The service is designed to review qualifications for eligibility. We are sorry, due to the significant number of international qualifications we review, it is not part of the service to publish details ineligible or eligible qualifications.

Waste Of Money

Total waste of money, because they will not tell you what they CAN NOT DO, until you pay for the services ONLY TO BE TOLD THEY CAN NOT process the application because they will ask for further information, for my case they asked for a transcript from 30 yeras ago. With the £69 FEE NON-REFUNDABLE. TOTAL WASTE OF MONEY IN MY EXPERIENCE.

We are sorry that you are dissatisfied with the service Tafadzwa.

We do outline clearly on our website that the service fee, determined by the Department for Education, is to establish if qualifications are eligible for the service, and we also clearly outline on our website the document requirements.

We have responded to your complaint directly, advising that some documents are missing from your application, and that these are required to proceed with reviewing one of the four qualifications you submitted.

We would be happy to proceed in reviewing your application on receipt of these qualifications, or alternatively, you can request that we remove ineligible qualifications, to proceed with the remaining ones.

Kind regards

Paid for Language comparability assessment but their IT portal did not work

The online payment for your Qualification and Language Service has been safely and securely processed by WorldPay, on behalf of UK Visas & Immigration (UKVI). The transaction reference for your payment of GBP 252.00 is WP0933208800084770

Hello. The QR code for live capture expired when I clicked on it. Could you send me a new link by email please? Thank you.

httpsportal.enic.org.ukmessages13420526
Thank you for your messages advising that the QR code link says it has expired when you click on it.
This is usually a result of the webpage being left open for too long. Please go back to ‘My Account’ and refresh the webpage. After doing this, please select the “Identity Check” button. You should then be able to scan the QR code image with a mobile device to begin the identity check journey. If you do not have access to a smartphone, or are using a smartphone to make the application, please select the blue ‘I do not have access to a mobile device with a camera’ button. You will then need to scan or upload a photograph of a current form of identification such as a passport or driving license. Once this has been added please take a photograph of yourself as the qualification holder to submit the identity check.

When this has been completed and submitted, please check the “Order Status” section of your online account regularly for any updates on the status of your order, and notification of any action required by you. If this is still not working, please also try the following before contacting us again:
• Logging out and then back into your user portal.
• Clicking on the Identity check button/icon (on the bottom right)
• Clearing the Cashe/cookies from your browser
• Use an alternative browser
• Use an alternative device (PC/Laptop/Tablet/Mobile Phone, etc…)
If you are still having issues or have any further queries, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Thank you for your reply. I tried your solutions but the QR code link still says it is expired. Please advise how I can proceed with the identity check.

httpsportal.enic.org.ukmessages13426926
Thank you for your message. If the QR code will still not work, there is a button below it you can push that says "I do not have access to a mobile device with a camera". This will allow you to proceed with the ID check. I hope this information is of assistance to you. If you have any further queries, please do not hesitate to contact us.

httpsportal.enic.org.ukmessages13426926
I tried your advice and called the hotline to ask for help, but the identification verification still did not go through. It is very upsetting that the advisor on the phone failed to provide any workable solution and just asked me to apply for a refund. The app for ordering Life in UK Test works perfectly, but your QR code and browser link do not. Since the IT issues are not resolved, does ENIC have an office where I can take my passport to show your staff for verification? I hope to hear of a resolution to the ID verification IT hiccup instead of blaming the service user. I paid 250 pounds for a service which never happened and I believe I deserve a reasonable explanation. All correspondence in this Messages portal will go on Trustpilot reviews.

Thank you for your review and comments.

The service you are referring to is not a UK ENIC service, but is provided by Ecctis.

We are unaware of other issues regarding the ID verification checks, and the Ecctis office is a closed office to the public. All ID verification must be completed through the electronic verification service.

From the detail you have provided, it appears to be a user-specific issue, and our customer service team have offered the correct guidance.

We have asked for further information via Trustpilot to look into this further for you, however you did not respond to this request.

We hope that you managed to resolve any technical issues you were experiencing, as an isolated instance.

Kind regards
