Johannesburg - In a first for a South African university, the University of Johannesburg has introduced Digital Certification and a virtual qualification verification system. The system will enable its graduates to access their qualifications digitally.
“Not only does this online system offer graduates access to their awarded certification credentials securely and electronically. It also gives the graduates access to share their qualification credential for verification purposes with third parties or prospective employers. And this would be done at no cost to both parties,” UJ Director of Central Academic Administration, Tinus van Zyl said.
Van Zyl said the system is set to give UJ alumni access to and put them in control of who can verify their qualifications. He said key features incorporated into the new system, are designed around international security standards. They are also compliant with legislation in terms of the protection to personal information.
