What is NARIC Now Called?

Understanding the Name Change: NARIC to ENIC

If you’re wondering “What is NARIC now called?”, the answer is UK ENIC. As of March 1, 2021, following the UK’s departure from the European Union (EU). This transition was made to align with the Lisbon Recognition Convention, ensuring that international qualifications continue to be recognised and assessed under the new framework. Despite the name change, UK ENIC continues to provide the same essential services, including qualification comparability and English language proficiency assessments for visa, employment, and education purposes.

Why Did UK NARIC Change to UK ENIC?

Previously, NARIC (National Academic Recognition Information Centre) was an EU-specific designation. Since the UK is no longer part of the EU, the organisation adopted the ENIC (European Network of Information Centres) title, which is used more widely across Europe and beyond. Despite the name change, the services, assessments, and recognition procedures remain the same.
