The Certificate Equivalency Department (CED) aims at verifying the authenticity of the qualifications issued by the higher education institutions outside the UAE and coming to the UAE. It also seeks to ensure that these qualifications satisfy the academic criteria applicable in the country and assess them against the UAE academic standards as well as the qualifications issued by the approved higher education private institutes inside the UAE, with the purpose of upgrading the outputs of higher education.

The human element is critical in community progress and is considered as its sustainable capital. Hence, developed countries are distinguished with dedicating the biggest portion of their income toward education and scientific researchers. They encourage and send students to learn in other countries in order to acquire distinctive education and qualifications which are not available inside the country, and to be familiar with cultures and civilizations of other societies.

The CED has been initiated by the Ministry in order to identify the internationally recognized higher education institutions in world countries. It is also intended to verify the validity and authenticity of documents incoming to the UAE, and to academically evaluate those qualifications. CED is the officially and legally authorized body to handle different academic qualifications issued from various countries.

It represents the gate through which all academic qualifications enter the UAE. CED assumes an extremely significant role as it gives students relevant information about institutes they plan to join in terms of recognition, the specializations they offer and the academic system applied for achieving equalization of the degree or certificate. All this information is readied by CED before the students do actually approach those institutes.
