IERF This foundation lacks any professionalism

This foundation lacks any professionalism they claim to have and misinform new clients about, as they claim to accumulate it during a path of 40 years…

They fraudulently trap consumers into a contract with a non refundable money and much more expenses than what they advertise ($185 fee + $285 other expenses).

They severely lack knowledge of international education systems and foreign polices, so you end up wasting time, money and being stigmatized with a nonequivalent educational levels even if your academic achievements are internationally recognized through different other countries.

Even though original documents were represented to them, they still require additional documents that dose/may not exist and inquiring about it from native educational institutes could cause applicants embarrassment and humiliation with their native universities, institutes and/or governments.

Evaluations are based on personal opinions and NOT as advertized, while if an applicant would complain; it could cost this individual valuable time, extra money and the lost of a priceless original document by mistake…

Finally, IERF lack customer service and professional conduct… get ready to be insulted on the phone or accused of literacy even if you hold a PhD and it is a total rip-off in terms of money and NO refunds…

IERF Extremely unprofessional and rude

Do not use this company IERF for evaluation your diplomas. I had very bad experience. For me it was waste of time and money. They have no idea about systems of education in different countries. The report was done very unprofessional and all evaluation was made by one person. On my request to reevaluate they told me that it is my problem that I do not agree.

Now I have to find another agency and evaluate my Diploma again.

Another service they offer, it is physical therapy. I can't understand how is it possible.

Please find another agency to safe your time and money.

I have the same bad experience. They ask a lot of information but they did not understand the particularities of foreign credentials.

I was not able to use their evaluation as "PhD in Chemical Engineering" for a CQ as Assistant Director of a Clinical Laboratory.
This evaluation was unfounded due to the subject of my MS and PhD "Molecular Interactions in Solutions" Besides, all PhD's theses are research scientific contributions, not engineering projects.
Due to the regulations, a MD, Dentist, or a PhD in: Physics, Biology or Chemistry, will do.
I have to say that a Chemical Engineer is much more that a Chemist: 2 more years of studies and more quantitative understanding of phenomena. Besides I already run for 6 y. a clinical lab. and I have more than 22 years experience as Research Scientist.

IERF Very unprofessional service

Do not sent your documents for evaluation to IERF! You will waste your money and time.

This company evaluated my Diploma. They do not have any guidelines and no policy and have no idea about the education system in different contries. The evaluation was done by only one person, who had no idea about the education system in my country. The evaluation report was done very unprofessionally and has incorrect and inaccurate information. On my request to reevaluate my Diploma again the same person who evaluated the Diploma sent me a letter that Review Committee decided that the evaluation was right. So, the only one person evaluated the diploma and then the same person was a "review committee". I was trying to call them and the answer was that they do not care about any education systems and it is only their own judgement how they evaluate which is not based on anything and if I do not like it is my problem.
So, I wasted 185$ and now will have to find another agency.

Their "certification" is only good for two years, after that you have to pay again, like your degree melted away just because is summertime.
This is akind an extortion, those guys should be put out of business just to protect the public. Crooks!

Extremely rude and unprofessional management that is unresponsive to genuine customer interests. Go to some other credentials evaluation agency. IERF does not have even the basic level of customer service your neighborhood drive-thru would have.
