PROGRAMS

Only approved courses count.

16 core courses are required by the NCAA Eligibility Center.

Our NCAA eligibility consultants work with your family and your current school to make sure every course that can count, does count — and that your child’s academic path stays aligned with NCAA requirements from day one.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is NCAA eligibility and why does it matter?

NCAA eligibility determines whether a student‑athlete can compete in college sports in the United States. It is based on both academics (courses, grades, credits) and athletics. Our role is to help you understand and plan the academic side so that nothing blocks your child’s NCAA options later.

Does my child need to change schools to become NCAA eligible?

No. That is the key difference in our model. Your child stays enrolled in their current school while completing the additional courses required for NCAA eligibility through our American partner school. Together, we build a single, coherent academic path.

How can I know if my child’s current path is compatible with NCAA requirements?

Our country‑by‑country credit calculator gives you a first indication. Then, our team and our American partner school review the student’s transcript in detail to confirm which courses count and which ones still need to be added.

Who validates final NCAA eligibility?

Final eligibility is validated by the NCAA Eligibility Center. Our role is to prepare a complete, compliant academic file so that nothing is missing when the time comes.

Does this work for all sports?

The NCAA academic eligibility process is the same for all sports. However, athletic expectations (performance, rankings, statistics) vary by sport and by university. We focus on the academic side so that your child’s school record supports their athletic ambitions, whatever the sport.
