It was posted today on 29th April.

Another 3 days to receive it.

That is 15 working days for them to complete (without post).

UK NARIC is probably the worst company. What they do is change your applicaiton date to the date when they start looking at your case and then calculate 15 working days from that to complete.

It is probably no more than 30 minutes job but they intentionally delay it so that you pay them more for the rapid turnaorund time.

1)Statement of Comparability
2)English lang assesment
assuming your degree is mentioned in PBS calculator.

Although it differs from person to person I would like to know how much time do they take. Do they really take 15 working days from the day they pick it up or has anyone here got it in very few days like less than 10 days?

Please let me know. My NCS appointment is due next week I am calculating my chances.

Thanks in advance.

Nope. You have an option of selecting next day delivery while ordering NARIC certs, meaning once the certs are ready you get them by next day.

If you think it's quite long... You can go for Fast Track Service which costs £210.00 + VAT* (£252.00) for 24 hours and £160.00 + VAT* (£192.00) for 48 hours.

You can find more details here... http://www.ecctis.co.uk/naric/Individua ... rices.aspx
