Getting Your Kenyan Certificate Recognized in Rwanda

Smooth Recognition Process for Seamless Career Growth

Studying in Kenya and earning a certificate from a recognized institution like Delight Technical College provides you with a valuable qualification that is recognized across the East African Community (EAC), including in Rwanda. Here’s how you can get your Kenyan certificate recognized and leverage it for career and further education opportunities in Rwanda.

🌍 EAC Harmonization of Qualifications

Under the East African Community (EAC) Protocol on Education, qualifications earned in one member country are recognized in all other EAC member countries. This means that a Kenyan certificate from Delight Technical College is automatically recognized in Rwanda, thanks to regional agreements that facilitate easy mobility of workers and students within the East African region.

📑 How to Get Your Kenyan Certificate Recognized in Rwanda

While your certificate is recognized by the EAC, here are the steps to ensure smooth validation and recognition in Rwanda:

1. Ensure Your College is Accredited
   Delight Technical College is accredited by the Kenyan government and the Kenya National Commission for Higher Education (NCHE), ensuring that your qualification is legitimate and meets the standards required for recognition in Rwanda.
2. Submit Your Documents to the Rwanda Qualifications Authority (RQA)
   The Rwanda Qualifications Authority (RQA) is responsible for overseeing the recognition and validation of foreign qualifications. For recognition of your Kenyan certificate, you may need to submit:
   • A copy of your Kenyan certificate
   • Your academic transcript from Delight
   • Proof of institution accreditation (Delight will assist in providing this)
3. Wait for Validation
   The RQA will assess your qualifications based on the East African Community’s mutual recognition standards. This process is typically quick as most TVET qualifications from Kenya are automatically recognized in Rwanda.
4. Receive Confirmation of Recognition
   Once your certificate is validated, the RQA will provide an official confirmation of recognition. You can then use your certificate for employment, further studies, or any other professional activities in Rwanda.

Once your Kenyan certificate is recognized, it opens doors to career opportunities in Rwanda. Employers across the country value Kenyan qualifications, particularly in sectors such as:
