HOMOLOGATIONS
We assist clients educated abroad, including international students as well as U.S. citizens and permanent residents, by offering professional translation and credential evaluation services that identify the U.S. academic equivalency of their foreign coursework and degrees.
We provide certified translations of international academic documents and prepare evaluation reports that explain how foreign studies align with the U.S. education system. These evaluations are commonly required for high school, college, and graduate admissions, as well as for immigration processes, employment opportunities, professional licensing, and other official purposes.

Step 3
Equivalency Determination
& Report Issuance
We will determine the equivalency of the foreign education to the US standard, we provide a detailed report, outlining the educational level achieved, GPA conversion, and recommendations for further education or employment. Lastly, we will issue you a formal report summarizing the findings of the evaluation.
Step 2
Transcription/Translation
& Course-By-Course
Your transcripts and other documents will be transcribed and translated into English if they are in a different language. A course by course evaluation will be conducted to compare the coursework completed by your foreign educational system with the equivalent coursework in the US education system. This includes assessing the level, content, and credit value of each course.
Step 1
Document Submission
& Verification
Submit your foreign transcripts, certificates, diplomas, and any other relevant document.
The Process
Welcome from Our President & CEO
Karen Fonthal | President & CEO, International Education Consulting (INTEDCO)
It is my privilege to lead INTEDCO, a company my father, Dr. Gil Fonthal, founded in 2004 on a simple belief: that a person's education and experience should be understood and valued wherever life takes them. As President and CEO, I carry that mission forward every day, helping individuals and institutions navigate the credential evaluation, translation, and regulatory processes that stand between where they are and where they are going.
Over the years, our work has grown alongside the families and professionals we serve, from evaluating academic credentials for immigration, licensure, and employment, to guiding international students toward U.S. education opportunities, to supporting manufacturers through FDA regulatory compliance. What has never changed is our commitment to accuracy, integrity, and genuine care for every client who trusts us with their story.
Thank you for considering INTEDCO. I look forward to being part of your journey.
