[Qualification records](https://help.ecctis.com/verification/general?hsLang=en-gb#qualification-records) # Use country and institution dropdowns ## Select the country of award and awarding institution. Many fields on the qualification entry page use dropdown menus to help you provide details quickly and consistently. ## Country of award Start by selecting the country of award. The institution dropdown will then show known accredited institutions within that country. ## If the institution is not listed If the awarding institution is not listed, select the **Not in list?** option. This allows you to type the institution name manually. In these circumstances, Ecctis will conduct additional checks to ensure the awarding organisation is genuine and held the correct accreditation status at the time of study. **Need support?** Contact [verificationservices@ecctis.com](mailto:verificationservices@ecctis.com) if you need help with portal access, an order, a verification check or account users. - [FAQs](https://help.ecctis.com/verification/faqs?hsLang=en-gb#main-content) - [Outcomes and appeals](https://help.ecctis.com/verification/faqs?hsLang=en-gb#outcomes-and-appeals) - [General questions](https://help.ecctis.com/verification/faqs?hsLang=en-gb#general-questions) - [Documents and consent](https://help.ecctis.com/verification/faqs?hsLang=en-gb#documents-and-consent) - [Getting started](https://help.ecctis.com/verification/getting-started?hsLang=en-gb#main-content) - [Overview](https://help.ecctis.com/verification/getting-started?hsLang=en-gb#overview) - [Dashboard basics](https://help.ecctis.com/verification/getting-started?hsLang=en-gb#dashboard-basics) - [Onboarding and setup](https://help.ecctis.com/verification/getting-started?hsLang=en-gb#onboarding-and-setup) - [Registration and access](https://help.ecctis.com/verification/getting-started?hsLang=en-gb#registration-and-access) - [Troubleshooting](https://help.ecctis.com/verification/troubleshooting?hsLang=en-gb#main-content) - [Unable to verify](https://help.ecctis.com/verification/troubleshooting?hsLang=en-gb#unable-to-verify) - [Missing information](https://help.ecctis.com/verification/troubleshooting?hsLang=en-gb#missing-information) - [Appeals and cancellations](https://help.ecctis.com/verification/troubleshooting?hsLang=en-gb#appeals-and-cancellations) - [Status updates](https://help.ecctis.com/verification/troubleshooting?hsLang=en-gb#status-updates) - [Registration issues](https://help.ecctis.com/verification/troubleshooting?hsLang=en-gb#registration-issues) - [General](https://help.ecctis.com/verification/general?hsLang=en-gb#main-content) - [High-risk countries](https://help.ecctis.com/verification/general?hsLang=en-gb#high-risk-countries) - [Candidate documents](https://help.ecctis.com/verification/general?hsLang=en-gb#candidate-documents) - [Qualification documents](https://help.ecctis.com/verification/general?hsLang=en-gb#qualification-documents) - [Primary Source Verification](https://help.ecctis.com/verification/general?hsLang=en-gb#primary-source-verification) - [Qualification records](https://help.ecctis.com/verification/general?hsLang=en-gb#qualification-records) - [Consent](https://help.ecctis.com/verification/general?hsLang=en-gb#consent) - [Candidate records](https://help.ecctis.com/verification/general?hsLang=en-gb#candidate-records) - [Submitting checks](https://help.ecctis.com/verification/general?hsLang=en-gb#submitting-checks) - [Reports](https://help.ecctis.com/verification/reports?hsLang=en-gb#main-content) - [Tracking progress](https://help.ecctis.com/verification/reports?hsLang=en-gb#tracking-progress) - [Verification methods](https://help.ecctis.com/verification/reports?hsLang=en-gb#verification-methods) - [Reports and downloads](https://help.ecctis.com/verification/reports?hsLang=en-gb#reports-and-downloads) - [Completed outcomes](https://help.ecctis.com/verification/reports?hsLang=en-gb#completed-outcomes) - [Timescales](https://help.ecctis.com/verification/reports?hsLang=en-gb#timescales) - [Account](https://help.ecctis.com/verification/account?hsLang=en-gb#main-content) - [Credit expiry](https://help.ecctis.com/verification/account?hsLang=en-gb#credit-expiry) - [Invoices and payment](https://help.ecctis.com/verification/account?hsLang=en-gb#invoices-and-payment) - [Credit balance](https://help.ecctis.com/verification/account?hsLang=en-gb#credit-balance) - [Buying credits](https://help.ecctis.com/verification/account?hsLang=en-gb#buying-credits) - [Pricing and bundles](https://help.ecctis.com/verification/account?hsLang=en-gb#pricing-and-bundles) - [User management](https://help.ecctis.com/verification/account?hsLang=en-gb#user-management) - [Settings](https://help.ecctis.com/verification/settings?hsLang=en-gb#main-content) - [Portal navigation](https://help.ecctis.com/verification/settings?hsLang=en-gb#portal-navigation) - [Profile and organisation settings](https://help.ecctis.com/verification/settings?hsLang=en-gb#profile-and-organisation-settings) - [Support](https://help.ecctis.com/verification/support?hsLang=en-gb#main-content) - [Concerns and complaints](https://help.ecctis.com/verification/support?hsLang=en-gb#concerns-and-complaints) - [Contact support](https://help.ecctis.com/verification/support?hsLang=en-gb#contact-support) - [Integrations](https://help.ecctis.com/verification/integrations?hsLang=en-gb#main-content) - [Portal integration](https://help.ecctis.com/verification/integrations?hsLang=en-gb#portal-integration) - [Internal systems](https://help.ecctis.com/verification/integrations?hsLang=en-gb#internal-systems) Copyright © 2026, Ecctis
