Let me help you with a straight forward tips on the requirements for collection of original WAEC Certificate so it will not cost you untold stress and wasted fund.
The West Africa Examination Council (WAEC) is a body saddled with the responsibility of conducting Senior and Junior school certificate examination for Anglophone West Africa speaking Countries which include The Gambia, Nigeria, Ghana, Liberia.
Here in Nigeria, the WAEC body conducts series of examination at various period of the year. The most popular among them is the WAEC Private, usually conducted in Secondary Schools. It is also known as Senior School Certificate Examination (SSCE).
Aside from this, we have the WAEC External known as the General Certificate of Education (GCE). All of which are also conducted at different times of the year.
In this post, We hope to teach you how to process the collection of your original WAEC Certificate, as well as the requirements for the collection of your certificate.
In time past, we know that WAEC releases original certificates after 4 years. However, with recent adjustments within the WAEC Council board, certificates are released much earlier after 90 days from the day WAEC officially releases results online.
