Degree Validation Diploma (for individuals)

What is the degree validation diploma from EQAC?
The Education Quality Accreditation Commission (EQAC) is interested in assisting individuals to validate their degrees, validate their diplomas and recognize earned credits on an international scale. To this end we have prepared a degree validation procedure that will certify the credit and degree equivalency of any diploma or certification earned at any of the EQAC accredited institutions. This degree validation diploma will also endorse the external quality review of the degree, institution and program of study.
The Education Quality Accreditation Commission considers this degree validation diploma service to be an important and constructive process to facilitate the acceptance of the degrees and credits earned from our accredited institutions.
Note that accreditation is a voluntary and non governmental process. No accreditation in the world can provide automatic acceptance and degree validation of the credits earned at other institutions, nor does it guarantee the acceptance of graduates by employers. Acceptance of students or graduates is always the prerogative of the receiving institution or employer.
What are the benefits of the degree validation diploma?
You will receive an official degree validation diploma issued by the Education Quality Accreditation Commission that will state the following information:
- You full name.
- Verification of the diploma and specialisation earned.
- Verification of the total credits corresponding to this diploma and specialisation.
- Verification of the credits composition in hours of study.
- Certification of the credits equivalency to the US Semester credits system.
- Certification of the credits equivalency to the Europ
- Assurance that the awarding institution is meeting the EQAC education quality standards.
The EQAC diploma validation may be useful for the global acceptance of the degrees and credits by employers, professional associations, other institutions, colleges or universities.

The Education Quality Accreditation Commission may validate degrees and diplomas from the following educational providers:
1. EQAC Accredited Institutions.

INSTITUTIONAL HISTORY
1999
The Education Quality Accreditation Commission founders were aware of the need of international standard-setting instruments in the field of education quality and accreditation that were indispensable in a decentralized global world in order to keep pace with rapid changes in the private educational sector and to guaranty education quality standards, while promoting the development of efficient education quality and accreditation systems. Following the premise of thinking globally though acting locally, the Education Quality Accreditation Commission was rooted in the most representative socioeconomic environments of the Western World.
The Education Quality Accreditation Commission was incorporated in the United Kingdom with Companies House Reg. Number: 3.728.049 to best represent the interest of UK and Commonwealth countries in the provision of accreditation and quality auditing to education institutions.
