UMALUSI has launched a newly implemented Online Application System for Replacement Certificates.
Candidates can access the system from anywhere (home or office) via a cellphone or personal computer to apply directly to Umalusi to replace their lost or damaged certificates.
Umalusi Council sets and monitors standards for general and further education and training in South Africa.
The Council is tasked with developing and managing a sub-framework of qualifications for general and further education and training and for the attendant quality assurance.
The new system was launched during a webinar, “Innovatively replacing your lost or damaged certificate issued by Umalusi”, on 30 March.
The purpose was to reduce the turnaround time and costs of replacing a lost or damaged certificate.
At the cost of R137.00, a candidate can collect a replacement certificate from Umalusi within two workings days of the application. Alternatively, a candidate can pay R202.00 (R137.00 for the certificate and R65.00 for courier fees) to have the certificate sent within 7 working days to their chosen physical address anywhere within the borders of South Africa.
The webinar was attended by officials from education stakeholder organisations in South Africa, Botswana Examinations Council (BEC) and Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC).
