Qualification Verifications

Qualification Verifications

At NVS, we understand the critical role that academic and professional qualifications play in hiring decisions. Verifying these credentials ensures that candidates meet the required educational and regulatory standards for their roles.

Our Verification Methods
The method used may vary depending on the type of qualification, issuing body and geographic location. Our standard methods include:

  • Direct Contact with Educational Institutions
    • We liaise with registrars or academic offices to confirm qualifications directly from the source.
  • Third-Party Verification Services
    • Trusted verification partners assist in validating academic and training achievements efficiently.
  • Professional Accreditation Body Checks
    • We verify certifications and memberships through industry-recognised bodies and councils.
  • International Qualification Evaluation
    • We verify them directly with international institutions worldwide to ensure authenticity.

For South African equivalency, we assess foreign qualifications against local standards, including alignment with the South African Qualifications Authority (SAQA) and the National Qualifications Framework (NQF).
