What is the DiploMe Platform?

 

It is the renewed CIMEA platform for comparability and verification services developed using blockchain technology.

By registering on the platform you will be able to digitally provide your foreign credentials and apply for their evaluation and/or verification following just a few simple steps.

The platform will also allow you to follow the status of your application and receive an alert once the Statement has been published.

Once a CIMEA Statement is issued to you, it is saved in blockchain enabling you to access it from anywhere, download it and share it directly from the platform with institutions and employers in a simple, secure and certified way. Together with your education documents, you can use your comparability and/or verification statements as a basis when applying for higher education courses.

 

For which qualifications can you apply for our Statements?

 

CIMEA evaluation services are available for qualifications that include the following characteristics:

  • OFFICIALITY: qualifications that are official in the relevant foreign educational system.
  • NATURE & LEVEL: foreign upper-secondary level (that provides entry to higher education) qualifications and higher education qualifications of all levels, including doctoral degrees.
    Other authorities are responsible for evaluating VET/TVET and lower secondary education.
  • INSTITUTION: qualifications issued by recognized or accredited institutions and in relation to courses held at official institutions in the country where the latter operate.
  • COMPLETION OF STUDY PROGRAMME: qualifications awarded as results of the successful completion of a study programme. The service is not available for partial or incomplete studies. If you have not completed your higher education qualification and want to continue studying in Italy, you should contact the higher education institution at which you want to study. They can provide you with information about how to apply to have your credits transferred.
  • NATIONALITY OF THE QUALIFICATION: qualifications belonging to any foreign educational system, including supranational systems such as the International Baccalaureate and European Baccalaureate, regardless of the the citizenship of the holder of the qualification. Please go to the Services page to discover which service is available for your qualification.

How can you understand if you need CIMEA services?

 

You hold a foreign diploma and you want it to be recognized in Italy?
Then it is not always necessary to apply for CIMEA Statements. What you should do depends on the purpose for which recognition is sought.

A few simple questions to understand if you need a CIMEA Statement

FOR WHAT PURPOSE DO YOU WANT TO HAVE YOUR FOREIGN QUALIFICATION RECOGNIZED?

Do you want to
study in Italy?

 

It is useful to know that in Italy, the recognition of foreign qualifications for accessing and continuing studies is the responsibility of higher education institutions (universities or AFAM institutions). It is therefore these institutions who establish the recognition procedures and the documentation required for this purpose. We suggest you check with the institution you are interested in whether CIMEA Statements are required among the documents necessary for recognition.

Do you want to
request recognition of your qualification for other purposes?

 

In this case as well, the first step is to identify the relevant body for the recognition procedure you are interested in.
For more information, consult the section dedicated to the different recognition procedures on the CIMEA website. We therefore suggest you check with the relevant body whether CIMEA Statements are required among the documents necessary for recognition.

After checking with the relevant institution or body whether you need CIMEA Statements for the recognition procedure, find out more about the Services available for your qualification and how to request them.

How can you retrieve and share your Statement(s)?

 

Once your Statement is ready, you will receive it directly in your account as a .pdf file. You then have 7 days to appeal aspects of our evaluation if needed. After this period, your Statement will be automatically published on blockchain (you can learn more about blockchain technology applied to comparability and verification statements on the CIMEA website).

Once published, it becomes unchangeable, and our "Fast Verification"  service, which rapidly verifies both individual metadata and the entire document's authenticity, will be activated. It can be accessed simply clicking the button at the bottom right to quickly access the verification screen.

Sharing your CIMEA Statements directly from your DiploMe account

You have the option to share the metadata of your Statements directly from your DiploMe account, once they have been published on blockchain. An email containing instructions to access this information will be sent to the receiving institution, along with a .json file.

This will enable the institution to visually compare the data on your Statement with the details displayed on screen, or to directly upload the Statement in .pdf format to ensure it has not been tampered with or altered.

 

 

Remember: always share your CIMEA Statements in .pdf format as downloaded from the DiploMe platform. Avoid using simple scans or photos, as the latter prevent the access to the "Fast Verification" button.
