Transcript Research is thrilled to announce our latest e-publication, Researching International Education Systems and Institutions, the 2021/2022 Edition. We've compiled nearly 1200 pages of free resources for the international credentials evaluator. This is a huge update over previous editions. Our previous versions had roughly 1/3 of the content of this update, which includes free links for secondary education; country-wide or exam body online verification or digital records links; post-secondary education information; links for recognition, quality assurance, and/or accreditation; technical and vocational education; qualifications frameworks; industry resources and publications; and unofficial additional resources. http://transcriptresearch.com/Research_2022.pdf

The excitement around those, and our earlier webinar on an Introduction to Digital Records for the TAICEP At Your Desk series means we have spent the better part of six months thinking intensively about digital documents. So we wrote an epub! You can get the whole...

Long time no see, friends! We've been so caught up in all the chaos of the world during the pandemic that we haven't taken a step back to just check in with everybody. We hope you're doing as well as can be expected while we're all still anxiously awaiting a safe and effective Covid-19 vaccine.We hope you've been keeping busy to distract yourselves. We've also been very busy. Helping international students apply for university admissions. Assisting immigrants who want to come to or stay in the US. Aiding employers and HR offices in making sure they're interviewing qualified candidates. Creating...

  I hope you're adjusting to the new normal. I hate the slew of emails about "these trying times" or trying to tiptoe around the global pandemic that's upended everything from how we celebrate birthdays to how we grocery shop to how we work and learn and connect with family. Some of it has been a rousing success, while others have been a work in progress that hopefully gets refined as time goes by, but that's why we're a community: so we can learn from each other and lean on each other. Transcript Research has been busy! We're happy that...
