When a course title isn’t evidence enough.
Transcripts say what a course was called; course guides say what it actually taught. Evaluators, boards, and registrars reach for the guide whenever a decision hangs on content — was that statistics course calculus-based, did that nursing module cover pharmacology, does that title match ours.
Course-by-course evaluations
When an evaluator cannot classify a course from its title, they request the catalog description. A certified translation of exactly those descriptions is what unblocks the evaluation.
Licensing boards
Nursing, engineering, and therapy boards audit specific competencies against coursework. Syllabi and descriptions, translated, are how a foreign course proves it covered the required ground.
Registrars and transfer credit
Transfer decisions compare your course content against the receiving catalog. A translated description gives the registrar something concrete to match — titles alone get denied by default.
Employers verifying depth
Specialized roles sometimes verify not just the degree but its content. Translated course descriptions document depth in a way a diploma line cannot.
What gets translated
Content, hours, and the structure around them.
Course guides are reference documents: dense, structured, and consulted rather than read. The translation keeps that structure intact so a reviewer can navigate it like the original.
Course descriptions, faithfully
Topics, prerequisites, and objectives rendered precisely — the content a reviewer is comparing against a requirement.
Hours and credit values
Contact hours, credit units, and workload figures carried across exactly, in the system the guide uses.
Structure mirrored
Numbering, module hierarchies, and cross-references preserved so citations to the original still resolve.
Aligned with your transcript
Course titles rendered identically to your transcript translation, so the two documents visibly describe the same courses.
Syllabi and reading lists
Assessment methods, weekly topics, and set texts translated where your reviewer needs that depth.
Institutional marks
Faculty letterheads, approval stamps, and catalog identifiers described in place.
Before you order
The scoping decision that saves real money.
Translate the courses on the list
A full catalog can run to hundreds of pages, but boards and evaluators name the specific courses they need described. Translate those, not the volume — word-count pricing exists for exactly this decision.
Match the catalog year
Courses change. The description that counts is the one from the years you actually took the course — pull the archived catalog edition if the current one differs, or the evaluator may query the mismatch.
Descriptions beat titles in appeals
If a course was denied credit or classified oddly, a translated description is the standard appeal evidence. Many clients come to this document after a first decision — cheaper to include the contested courses up front.
How it works
Course list to certified descriptions, fast.
Photograph or scan it
Take a clear photo or scan of your course guide and upload it. The word count and the exact total show before you pay — no account needed.
A specialist linguist takes it
Your file goes to a native speaker who works with this document type every week and knows its stamps, layouts, and abbreviations on sight.
Reviewed, then certified
A second linguist checks names, dates, numbers, and layout against the original. Only then is the Certificate of Accuracy signed.
Delivered as one PDF
Translation, certificate, and a copy of the source in a single file — ready to attach to your filing or forward to whoever asked for it.
Pricing is by word count, which is the whole point on this document: translate the twelve courses your board named, not the four-hundred-page catalog. The exact total shows before you pay.

FAQ
The questions that actually come up.
The ones we hear most often, answered by our dispatch and project-management teams.
Can't find it here?
01Do I need the whole course guide translated?
Almost never. Evaluators and boards name specific courses; translating those descriptions — with the guide’s identifying front matter so the source is clear — is the standard, accepted scope. The certificate states exactly what was translated, which keeps the partial scope honest and verifiable.
02Will a licensing board accept translated syllabi as proof of course content?
Yes — that is precisely what boards request when auditing foreign coursework, delivered as certified translations with a signed Certificate of Accuracy. Boards often want hours broken out too, which is why contact-hour figures are carried across exactly as printed.
03My university’s catalog is only online. Can you work from that?
Yes. Export or print the relevant catalog pages to PDF, including the URL and catalog year where visible, and we translate from that. If the evaluator requires proof the pages are official, an emailed confirmation or stamped printout from the faculty travels well alongside.
04The course I took in 2015 has a different description now.
Use the archived catalog for your enrollment years — most universities keep them, and registrars can issue the old edition’s pages. Translating the current description for a course that changed is the mismatch evaluators are trained to catch.
05How is the price calculated?
By word count across the pages you choose — starting at $24.95. A handful of course descriptions is an inexpensive order; you see the exact total before paying and can add courses later at the same rates.
06Can you keep terminology consistent with my transcript translation?
Yes, and you should want that: course titles in the guide are rendered identically to the transcript so the reviewer links them instantly. If we translated your transcript, the same glossary is applied automatically; if someone else did, send it and we align.
