Academic document

Cuban Course Content Certificate (Plan Temático)

We obtain, legalize and translate the course content (Plan Temático) of your Cuban degree for recognition, professional licensing and credential evaluation abroad.

01

What is it and what is it for?

It is the academic document issued by the university or higher education institution in Cuba setting out the summarized content and topics of every course taken during your degree.

It is essential when credential evaluation agencies such as BACB, WES, SpanTran or ECE, or foreign universities, need to validate not just grades or credits but the specific content of each course in order to grant recognition, professional equivalency or a licence to practise.

02

What does our service include?

  • ·Locating and requesting the official course content document at the academic office or archive of the relevant university in Cuba.
  • ·Legalization of the document at the Ministry of Higher Education (MES) and the Ministry of Justice (MINJUS).
  • ·Specialist technical translation into the required language (English, French and others), keeping the exact academic terminology required by NACES member evaluation agencies.
  • ·Direct official delivery (institution-to-institution) in a sealed envelope or sent digitally, according to the requirements of the receiving body.

Key point for recognition: unlike the academic transcript, which only shows grades and hours, the course content document breaks down the topics and teaching objectives. If your goal is professional registration or a specialist certification, in healthcare, psychology or engineering for example, this document is critical to avoid your file being refused.

03

What we need to start

  • ·The holder's full name and identity document number.
  • ·The exact name of the university or faculty and the programme studied.
  • ·The year of graduation, or the start and end of the academic period.
  • ·A copy of the degree certificate or academic transcript, if you have one, to speed up the archive search.

Why these files get rejected

Credential evaluation agencies apply strict, inflexible criteria: a sealed envelope sent directly by the issuing institution, a complete file with nothing left out, and a translation faithful to the original document. A single broken link in that chain — an opened envelope, incomplete course content, a course misread in translation — is enough for the file to be rejected or evaluated downward. And redoing it almost always means starting again in Cuba.
