foreign credentials
International professional certifications
Foreign credentials are qualifications, degrees, or professional certifications obtained in another country.
The term appears most often in immigration and employment contexts, where someone's foreign credentials may or may not be recognized: Her foreign credentials weren't accepted here, so she had to recertify.
The process of evaluating foreign credentials determines whether education or training from abroad meets local standards.
