Evaluation of qualifications is the process of assessing local and foreign qualifications by analysing their context, structure, and relevance compared to local qualifications. It involves two key components: verification and comparability. Verification focuses on confirming the legitimacy of the awarding institution and the authenticity of the qualification documents, ensuring that the qualification was genuinely awarded to the individual. Comparability involves examining how the foreign qualification aligns with the National Credit and Qualifications Framework (NCQF), based on its structure and learning outcomes. The result of this evaluation is either recognition or non-recognition of the qualification.
