Fast and Professional Service

I had an excellent experience with UK ENIC when applying for my Statement of Comparability. The process was clear, the communication was prompt, and my statement was completed even earlier than I expected . I genuinely appreciate their efficiency and professionalism, which made the whole process smooth and stress-free. I would definitely recommend UK ENIC to anyone needing to have their qualifications assessed.

How can I love your service?

How can I trust or appreciate this service anymore?
You downgraded my bachelor’s degree to “higher education only,” even though I worked incredibly hard for it — much harder than what it takes to earn a bachelor’s degree in the UK.

And my master’s degree, which I completed after two years of nonstop effort and sacrifice, was reduced to the level of a bachelor’s degree. That feels completely unfair.

Honestly, what I achieved in Afghanistan was far more difficult. If I had studied in the UK, I could have earned the same qualifications with much less struggle.

Totally Disappointed

I would like to provide feedback on my recent experience with your qualification assessment service.

I am disappointed that my higher education qualification, which was fully taught and examined in English, was not accepted as evidence of English language proficiency. Although my medium of instruction and assessment was English throughout my degree, the report still states that my English does not meet the standard of UK GCSE English.

Your website and guidance documents do not clearly mention that qualifications studied entirely in English may still be rejected for English language equivalence. This lack of transparency made the process confusing and, in my view, unfair.

I invested both time and money into this assessment expecting a clear, transparent evaluation process. However, the outcome feels inconsistent with the information available to applicants.

I would strongly suggest that UK ENIC update its website and application guidance to clearly explain its policy on English language equivalency and the criteria used for determining it. This would help future applicants make informed decisions and avoid unnecessary costs.

Shafiq, thank you for your comments.

We are sorry to read that you are unhappy with your outcome.

The purpose of the service is to establish if a qualification is eligible for comparability, and equivalence information is not published online via our website.

We have requested further information via Trustpilot, to look into your case further, however we did not receive a response.

You can find details of our complaints process here: https://www.enic.org.uk/contact-us/complaints

Please note that the UK ENIC services do not comment on English language proficiency, which should not be confused with comparability of school level qualifications to GCSE.

Statement of Comparability

I wanted a Statement of Comparability. There were problems with the process. I tried everything on my end to resolve them. UK NARIC sabotaged everything. That's why it's so bad.

Thank you for your comments.

We were unable to process your application due to an issue you were encountering in your specific location accessing the Government payment gateway, which unfortunately we do not have any control over.

Payments must be made via the Government payment gateway online, and we are not able to accept payments in other methods.

We are sorry that you were not able to proceed, however this matter is outside of our control.

In the UK

In the UK, a major issue exists regarding the comparability of English qualifications. They only recognise English from Ireland, Australia, the United States, and Canada. For applicants from other countries, they claim the level of study does not meet their standards. Despite this, they still charge a fee and then state that the applicant is not qualified in English. This is frustrating, especially since English is the only requirement we need assessed — everything else is fine. It feels like this department is just taking money without providing real services.

I am writing to express my absolute outrage and deep dissatisfaction with the appalling service I have received from UK ENIC. My experience has been nothing short of disgraceful characterized by shocking delays, dismissive and unhelpful staff, and a complete lack of professionalism or accountability.

I applied for a Statement of Comparability fiver months ago and only received it about three weeks ago. I received nothing but silence, confusion, and excuses. Your so-called “customer service” is a joke every interaction I’ve had has been met with rudeness, condescension, and a total unwillingness to listen or assist. It is frankly unbelievable that an organization tasked with something as important as credential recognition can operate with such incompetence.

Because of your failure to process my application in a reasonable timeframe, I lost a job opportunity that depended on this document. Let that sink in, a job I worked extremely hard to secure, gone, because your staff couldn’t be bothered to do their jobs or even communicate properly.

The complete lack of transparency, accountability, and basic courtesy I’ve encountered is unacceptable for any organization, let alone one operating under government endorsement.
Your organization’s inefficiency and poor treatment of applicants have real consequences — financial, professional, and emotional. I suggest you take this complaint seriously

I expect a prompt and professional reply … for once

Dear Leah

We are sorry to read your comments and dissatisfaction regarding your experience in using a UK ENIC service.

We have written to you directly, having investigated your complaint.

We would like to address the following points:

- Whilst the outcome of your application for an Early Years Statement did not provide the outcome you were seeking, we have reviewed your application and qualification thoroughly, based on the documentation you have provided to us.

- The timeframe for the service is based on all required documents being provided to complete the assessment of all qualifications added to your order. We did need to request documents to be uploaded to your application on multiple occasions.

- Whilst the application was submitted on 16th June 2025, we did not have all required documents to proceed until 29th August, with your order being completed on 19th September (20 working days).

- It is important to clarify that UK ENIC does not determine eligibility for employment or professional registrations. Our role is to provide independent comparability advice based on the evidence submitted, and for this order, to map learnings against criteria set by the Department for Education.

- Unfortunately, as insufficient course content was provided, it was not possible to determine that your qualification met all the criteria set by the Department for Education

- We have fully reviewed the telephone calls with our customer service team, and are satisfied that our staff were consistently polite, professional and helpful and noted that you appear to have been satisfied with the customer service received during each interaction.

Based on this evidence, we do not find any evidence to support the concerns raised in your review.

Kind regards
UK ENIC

I am extremely disappointed with the ENIC service. It has now been over two months since I paid my fee to receive my statement of compatibility, and I am still waiting. Despite the fact that I attended well-known and accredited schools in the United States, there seems to be a new issue with my documents every time I check in. Instead of moving forward, the process feels like it’s going backwards.

I expected a professional and straightforward evaluation of my documents, but the experience has been frustrating, unorganized, and completely lacking in transparency. After paying a significant fee, I should not still be stuck in limbo without clear communication or progress. I cannot recommend this service to anyone looking for timely or reliable assistance.
Unfortunately, you won't even be able to choose an alternative service because apparently there aren't any in the UK.
