Using a vocational or associate diploma when applying for a master's or doctoral place abroad — how should it be prepared?

The scope of this answer is “Using a vocational or associate diploma when applying for a master's or doctoral place abroad”, so it separates what is specific to this file from the standard certification chain. Plan the schedule with room for at least one review cycle at the receiving office. For documents going abroad, include international shipping time in the plan. If the receiving body confirmed its requirements by email, keep that message with the file. Keep a copy of every source document plus the receipt or docket from each step. The next step is confirming the filing channel and the copy or file format required. The specifics here are document type: Diploma, and those decide which translation and certification level applies. The terms that frame this page are Using · vocational · associate · diploma. The most frequent cause of delay in this group is missing supporting documents on the first submission. What sets this case apart is the number of certified sets and the window in which they must be used. Before starting, make sure document numbers, issue dates and issuing-office names match across the set, then keep a digital copy of every page, including seals and signatures, then plan the timeline so certification finishes before the real filing deadline. Most delays come from doing the steps in the wrong order rather than from the translation itself — translating before the institution has issued the official set, or paying for consular certification before the receiving body has confirmed which layer it wants. Send us the receiving body's requirement page first and ILC will map the whole file: obtaining the documents, the translation, each certification layer and the dispatch, as an adviser through the case rather than a translation desk. An accepted translation is a complete word-for-word rendering: no summarising, no dropping the course table, credits, grades or the endnotes. It keeps the layout order of the original, renders the text of every seal and signature in place, and carries the translator's certification of accuracy at the end. Many bodies also require a copy of the original to be attached to each translated page. Most evaluation bodies do not accept documents forwarded by the applicant. They require the issuing institution to send the transcript and proof of completion directly, either in an envelope sealed and stamped across the flap or through an electronic channel the body accepts. Ask the university registrar for the official set first, then prepare the translation alongside it in the format the body specifies. Cost and lead time depend on page count, target language, how many certified sets are needed and the steps the receiving evaluation body sets, so every file is quoted before work starts.
