Usual standard is at least 360h and both program and institution with regular records at the Ministry of Education (MEC), but this is an estimate. Only the ECA report will tell you for sure.

Yeah, my 420h course (what we call in Brazil "pós-graduação - especialização lato sensu") was evaluated as 1-year diploma by WES. That with my Licentiate degree (evaluated as equivalent to a 4-year Bachelor's) allowed me to choose "two degrees".

IESB (Brasília), April 2015 - mid 2016 (classes) plus some time to do the final coursework (like a monograph / paper / article), which I finished in November 2016.

Para obter o ECA de graduação e especialização (lato-sensu) é necessário fazer 2 inscrições? Onde 1 inscrição é para graduação e a outra é para especialização? Assim teria que pagar duas vezes?

ou

Eu me inscrevo para obter o ECA 1 vez e envio 2 historico/ diplomas (graduação e especialização) na mesma inscrição? Desta forma, eu pagaria 1 vez para obter o Relatório ECA para os 2 cursos?

PS. Qual empresa você utilizou para emitir seu ECA?

I have a question. For you, arthurbr that received your ECA Report for graduate school, please help me.

To obtain the Bachelor and specialization ECA (lato-sensu) is it necessary to make 2 applications? Where 1 application is for Bachelor and the other is for specialization? So would you have to pay twice?

or

Do I apply for the ECA 1 time and submit 2 transcripts/degrees (Bachelor and specialization) in the same application? In this way, would I pay 1 time to get the ECA Report for the 2 programs?

PS. Which company did you choose to issue your ECA?
