Education Verification is a simple way to check the honesty and suitability of your candidates.


Direct Contact with Academic Institutions


Education Verifications authenticate candidates’ education claims directly with registrars and administration offices, many of whom know us well. We compare claims made by your candidate with information on the official files and alert you of inconsistencies.



Thorough Results – Honesty Matters

  • Forgery-proof results delivered securely online
  • Unbiased, unaltered records obtained directly from the registrar’s office
  • An inexpensive measure of honesty
  • Knowledge of abundant diploma mills and phony education institutions
  • We know “Who, How and When to Contact” at all United Kingdom schools and at hundreds of International institutions.
  • A consistent and auditable process
  • Typical turnaround time of 2-3 business days



Diploma Mills


Each year, thousands of job candidates fabricate their education history, in a wide variety of ways.  Modern technology has given rise to Diploma Mills, which issue degrees based on “life experience” or simply for cash.  By going directly to registrars, we are able to raise the red flag and give you a reliable picture of each candidate.



Industry Leader


BackCheck’s highly skilled and experienced employees have conducted several hundred thousand Education Verifications worldwide. We leverage our relationships with major UK and global education institutions, our detailed knowledge of Diploma Mills, and our well-documented procedures to get you fast, accurate information.

BackCheck in Action - Education Verification

Identifying falsified CVs
“BackCheck was informed by the college’s records department that they were unable to locate any record of the applicant. Since BackCheck was not provided with the applicant’s student number, we contacted the applicant to request this information in case the school was mistaken. When the applicant was contacted, she admitted that she never attended the school and had “mistakenly” stated on her CV that she had.”

Recognising Diploma Mills
“The applicant claimed he attended Canterbury University. BackCheck’s database indicated that there were two school’s by this name. One was a legitimate university and the other was a known diploma mill. BackCheck contacted the client for the location of the school to confirm which school the applicant was referring to. The applicant then sent in a letter meant to prove that the school was accredited. BackCheck was able to confirm that the school was not a legitimate institution. We then proceeded to verify two other credentials provided by the applicant which also turned out to be false claims.”
