According to the Education Ministry, this certificate is an equivalent of Uganda Certificate of Education (O’Level) offered by UNEB. After completion of this level, the candidate enrolls for National certificate in TVET for a period of two years and after enroll for Diploma and then University. At each of this stage, the candidates possess requisite competencies and skills to join world of work for employment or start their own enterprises.
The Board has advised parents to ensure that students enrolling for Certificate and Diploma programmes after Senior four and Senior six join training institutions registered by Ministry of Education and Sports or National Council for higher education and programmes examined by the relevant national examinations boards like UBTEB, UNMEB and UAHEB as this will guard them from obtaining unrecognised qualifications.
