NECTA Equivalence Certificate: Apply Online Now

With this new system, applicants can seamlessly fill the application form, attach the required documents, and easily submit the duly filled application form online.

Eligibility Criteria for NECTA Equivalence Certificate

To be eligible for the NECTA Equivalence Certificate, applicants must meet the following criteria.

1. Certificates Must Be Issued by an Accredited Institution

To be considered equivalence, certificates must be issued by an approved Examination Board or Council that is legally authorized to conduct examinations and issue certificates. This ensures that the certificates are of a high standard and comparable to those issued by NECTA.

2. Institutional Certificates Not Accepted

Institutional-based certificates, such as those issued by institutions or private organizations, are generally not eligible for synchronization. However, there are a few differences. Certificates and/or Diplomas of Education issued by recognized Universities may be equally considered.

3. Prior-Entry Requirements for Foreign Advanced Secondary Education Certificates

Applicants with Foreign Advanced Secondary Education Certificates must meet certain entry requirements. They must have at least three (3) Credit passes in their Standard Level Certificate/certificates or Pre-Entry qualifications. Additionally, they must submit their Certificate of Secondary Education (CSE) and Advanced Certificate of Secondary Education (ACSE).

4. Official Translations Required for Certificates in Other Languages

If the certificate is written in a language other than Kiswahili or English, it must be accompanied by an official translation from the embassy of the country concerned or a recognized institution such as Alliance Francaise or BAKITA. This ensures that NECTA can accurately assess the content and validity of the certificate.

5. Exclusion of Certificates from Unrecognized Centres

NECTA is the sole authority for supervising and monitoring foreign examinations conducted in Tanzania. NECTA will not equate foreign certificates obtained from examinations held in centers within Tanzania that are not recognized by NECTA to conduct foreign examinations. This non-recognition is in accordance with Tanzania Law number 21 of 1973 [CAP 107 Revised Edition 2002]. According to this Law, the management and monitoring of foreign examinations conducted in Tanzania must be under NECTA.
