    Extremely slow with releasing reports!!! They wanted you to pay and do the expedited process. They just want your money!!! My credentials are already stored with them and I purchased their e-saved for $100. Apparently, even if the credentials are with them it will still take them forever to process, its almost 2months now and counting, ridiculous!! This company is thirsty of money, ??% DO NOT RECOMMEND!!! Go to other credentialing bodies like ***.

    I am writing to express my dissatisfaction with CGFNSs handling of my license verification inquiries. Despite my ongoing efforts to seek clarification, my concerns remain largely unaddressed.Although my license was issued by the ****************** (rather than a regional office) and I have provided solid evidence from prior reviews confirming its validity, CGFNS continues to request additional documents, resulting in needless delays.I have made multiple calls to their office, including instances where my call was transferred to the appropriate department. On one occasion, I was told I would receive a callback within 72 hours, but this did not happen. I also spoke with one staff member, who appeared professional and advised me to send another email outlining my evidence so she could escalate the matter to the research department; However, I did it the way she suggested, and their response remained unchanged.After receiving multiple, nearly identical emails, I began to suspect these messages might be automated. I communicated this frustration to the staff to highlight how profoundly this prolonged process has impacted my career, lasting more than six months. When a customer repeatedly raises the same issue but receives no meaningful resolution, it suggests that not all aspects of the concern are adequately addressed.While the lady I spoke with was professional and understanding, the organizations inefficiency caused significant frustration. I believe CGFNS must examine its procedures more carefully and prioritize genuine complaints thoughtfully and appropriately.I hope this review brings attention to the existing shortcomings in CGFNSs processes and encourages the organization to implement necessary improvements for future applicants.

    "I had an extremely disappointing experience with CGFNS. As a highly qualified nurse with years of ICU/CCU experience, I trusted this organization to handle my credentials efficiently for my transition to the **** nursing workforce. Unfortunately, the process has been riddled with delays, poor communication, and unclear requirements.Despite providing all the necessary documents and meeting their criteria, I faced repeated setbacks without clear explanations. The customer ********************** is unresponsive and unhelpful, leaving me frustrated and stuck in a bureaucratic loop. As someone eager to contribute to the **** healthcare system, I feel disheartened by how CGFNS handles their applicants.I hope they take serious steps to improve their services for future professionals in my position. I cannot recommend this organization based on my experience."

    Most frustrating customer ********************** Ive EVER EXPERIENCED! They have no email to contact them or send transcripts too. The people who answer the phones might as well be robots because they just reiterate a script thats dictated to them and cannot comprehend how to assist people who have dished out thousands of dollars for credentials to be verified despite ALMOST IDENTICAL EDUCATIONAL REQUIREMENT FROM ****** TO ***!Extremely slow processing time and theres nothing the customer can do about it because there are no other options available!!!! If I didnt have to use them, I never would again!!!

    I read a lot of negative reviews about CGFNS, after reading all comments I'm worried that my application for CES will take a while but I'm aware that processing will take 8-12 weeks. My journey with them when smoothly after submitting all my requirements.July 26- File application and paid submit all the documents needed August 15- School and PRC completed, same day I called them to inform that my requirements are completed.August 16- status changed to ready to review august 19- called and make a follow up even ask them if what I can do on my end to expedite the process and they say they can but I have to pay another $425 but they are not sure if report will be issued right away.August 21- Check my status and they are asking for my high school diploma. Same day I called them and explained that I really need my CES badly since this is the only requirement I need to proceed with my license endorsement in **********. I also explain to ****** (agent) that I'm aware that I can request to expedite the process but I don't wanna pay and ask her if there's another way to expedite the process. She said that I can send them explanation letter thru messages.August 22- received an email stating my status change to IN QA REVIEW August 23- CES REPORT available!! I was about to send a letter this day but when I checked my status my CES is now available From what I noticed I think it depends on how you explained the urgency and make sure to always follow up.Thank You CGFNS!!!!

    This business is just for the money and not to really serve people of what they need! I have my documents already and paid an esaved so that they dont have to keep on asking on the required documents as what ive seen from people posting their dismay in this business, cgfns accepted and charged me $100 for that esaved, then i paid for a ces service for my license endorsement for $485 may 3, they wanted my license from the ph to be revalidated, then i complied, they got it may 30, the same they my status changed for review, then from june 12 my status kept on changing from asking for required documents to received then ready for review and now they sent me a notification asking for the requirements again, they didnt even responded back for the request I made to have my money back i paid for the esaved coz I availed a service that really dont make sense at all coz theyre still asking for my school credentials. This is very disappointing coz this is all ive been waiting for my license endorsement and everytime i make calls and ask for updates theyre just gonna say you have to wait for 8-12 weeks! Really, that is really how long its gonna take for the expensive service we undoubtly paid and their evaluators are just like tripping making us customers wait, until theyve decided what and when they wanted to ask it, making us suffer to gather all our documents when its supposed to be saved in their system all along. Even a 1 star is not worth giving this business!

    Do not use this group for credential evaluations. We are in fact looking to get a lawyer regarding the situation. My wife has over 3200 credits and well over required courses and qualifications. We have been stuck for almost 2 months now trying to explain why 2 basic courses 30 years ago were allowed to be dropped and not taken. The people answering the phones promise to look into it and will call back. They never call back. Evaluating persons are not ever in direct communication and frankly I wonder if there really are evaluators. I cannot stress this enough, go elsewhere. This path is full of empty promises and **** poor communication.

    I like to complain about CGFNS. I purchased their CES report service last April 2024. So I submitted all the requirements listed on my dashboard. For the record, they always say that they can not find my school transcript. Transcripts is always sent by the school together with the Related Learning Experience and Nursing ************************ said that they have sent my Transcipt twice already. The first one was last April 12, 2024 together with my Related Learning Experience and nursing education form. It is always sent together because my school knows the process and it is not new to them to send it all together at one time, so it is very impossible that CGFNS did not receive it. The second time my Transcipt was sent was last May 7, 2024. That was confirmed by our school registrar who sends documents to the CGFNS portal. So all in all, it was sent twice to the portal. It is not easy to request the documents from my school and yet it seems like CGFNS is always denying that my documents are incomplete. I purchase their service in hope that they can help me fasten my nurse license endorsement from ******** to ******* board of nursing, but it is taking too long. I can not find a job because this CES reports that will come from CGFNS is taking a long process and waiting time, to think that every documents they asked is all sent thru online. Thank you and hope you could help me. Good day!
