Applicants provide their explicit consent for processing their personal data in accordance with data privacy and security standards, with the additional benefits for applicants including: evaluations for interim and completed qualifications, translated academic records into English-language versions and applicants receive their own digital wallet to store, retain and re-use their records anywhere, at any time.
