Reminder!
Qualification certificates (e.g. school reports, transcripts, or professional records) document your academic or professional background. For official use, institutions usually require a certified translation of qualification documents to assess your profile correctly.
In Switzerland, accuracy is essential—contents must be translated consistently to avoid misinterpretation during recognition or application processes.

Adapted for academic and professional recognition
Qualification certificates often contain specific information about degrees, professional titles, institutions, subjects, grades and periods of study or training. These details must be reproduced accurately without implying equivalence with a Swiss qualification.
Traducta works with experienced translators familiar with academic and professional documentation. If certification is required for use in Switzerland, we can arrange the appropriate notarial certification. The exact requirements should be confirmed with the university, employer, recognition body or authority receiving the documents.
Confidential processing of personal and academic data
Academic records contain sensitive personal and educational information. All documents are handled within a secure environment with limited access.
Your data is processed with discretion, ensuring it remains confidential and protected throughout the translation process.
Precise translation of grades and academic content
Qualification certificates often include detailed grading systems, subject lists, and performance assessments. These elements require careful handling to ensure clarity for the receiving institution.
We make sure that every qualification certificate translation reflects the original structure and grading logic, allowing universities and employers to interpret your results correctly.
