Beginning 14 April 2006, all applicants to the FPGEC Certification Program will need to request an evaluation report from ICES. Please see the NABP website for more information regarding NABP/FPGEC examination procedures and licensing information.

Educational requirements for NABP/FPGEC: Applicants who were issued a pharmacy degree prior to

ICESS Evaluation Report

Please note that an ICES evaluation report does not confirm acceptance to sit for the Foreign Pharmacy Graduate Equivalency Examination offered by NABP. Our evaluation reports are statements of educational equivalence. ICES does not make judgments regarding an individual's eligibility for pharmacy licensure in the United States.

NABP requires the ICES evaluation report to be sent directly from ICES to NABP, along with original documentation submitted for evaluation. By completing the application for an ICES evaluation, you are authorizing ICES to send to NABP a copy of your evaluation report and all educational documents submitted to ICES
