The National Accreditation Board (NAB) has launched an online Credential Evaluation Management System in Accra.
The new system enables the easy evaluation of a person’s academic credentials through NAB, through going online.
Dr Kingsley Nyarko, Executive Secretary, NAB, who launched the new system, said previously, the Board’s evaluation service had been accessible only at the NAB office in Accra.
He said, as a result, both foreign and local clients had to be physically present at the NAB secretariat in Accra, to apply for evaluation and also pay the applicable fees.
“With the new system, however, clients only need to go to the internet, create accounts and submit applications from wherever they are,” Dr Nyarko said.
Dr Kingsley Nyarko stated that in line with the requirements of the Board’s mandate to evaluate and establish the equivalence of Local and Foreign qualifications, this service will help assess Educational Credentials such as Certificate, Diploma or Degree earned from Local and Foreign countries into Ghanaian equivalent and NAB provides evaluation reports and related services that assist employers and education institutions to understand and appreciate the International education qualifications system.
“General evaluation reports, Credential Verification and Authenticity, institutional report, evaluation and establishment of equivalence of certificate acquired at all levels of education are the service available and the processing fees for evaluation are periodically reviewed to recover cost in which the current fees is Two Hundred and Fifty Ghana Cedis (250gh) for each Foreign Certificate and One Hundred Ghana Cedis (100gh) for each Local Certificated” Kingsley Nyarko revealed.
He said the new system runs smoothly with all browsers, and also had a number of online payment options, including mobile money, visa cards and direct bank deposits.
