The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has unveiled the much anticipated WAEC Digital Certificate Services System (WAEC DigiCert) across all its member countries: The Gambia, Ghana, Liberia, Nigeria, and Sierra Leone.
‘The Digital Certificate Services platform is a mobile and Web-based application that provides enormous benefits to the various stakeholders. It is designed to offer simple features that enable users to access, request, confirm or share digital formsof the original certificates. Users can also recover lost WAEC examination numbers on the system, indicated the press statement of Demianus G. Ojijeogu, Head of Public Affairs, WAEC HQ, Accra, Ghana.
The system is reliable, the authenticity of the certificates is guaranteed, and the cost benefits to users cannot be overstated. Following its successful pilot in Nigeria,WAEC DigiCert received positive feedback from candidates and educational institutions worldwide.
