Foreign Credential Evaluation
Since the educational systems of countries vary greatly, comparing the educational level of individuals educated in different countries is complicated and requires specialized knowledge.
Translations
Translation of foreign educational credentials is often misunderstood as being the same as foreign credential evaluation, but they are two different processes.
The JS&A Difference
“The University of Miami (UM) is fortunate to maintain a long-standing association with Josef Silny & Associates International Education Consultants (JS&A)”
The University of Miami (UM) is fortunate to maintain a long-standing association with Josef Silny & Associates International Education Consultants (JS&A). Formerly UM’s Director of International Admission, Mr. Silny has built a company that provides outstanding services in the field of international credentials and transcript evaluations. JS&A has provided transcript evaluations for undergraduate students for many years and now also provides the same service for graduate students applying to UM for admission. JS&A also provides credentials evaluations and translation services for UM departments for the purposes of hiring foreign nationals. Based on a wealth of experience in the fields of international education, credentials evaluations and translation services, JS&A consistently delivers excellent and professional services, including timely, fair and accurate evaluations and translations, high standards of document authentication, and dedicated customer service. I greatly appreciate our good working relationship with JS&A and highly recommend their services.”

“Exceptional customer service is one of the main reasons we recommend Josef Silny & Associates.”
This letter is in reference to Josef Silny & Associates whom the Undergraduate Admissions Office at the University of Pittsburgh has worked with for the past four years. Their evaluation reports are completed in a timely and professional manner each and every time. Exceptional customer service is one of the main reasons we recommend Josef Silny & Associates. Any issue that arises we receive a response immediately and the issue is typically esolved within a few hours. We recommend to other offices within Pitt that they use JS&A due to the ease of reading their reports, thoroughness and accuracy. The company has tailored an application for Pitt applicants with exactly the type of report we require which makes the process very easy for students. They also send the reports to us via email which helps our office process applicants in a timely fashion. I highly recommend to both colleagues in the field and other University members the use of JS&A services.”
