Good Morning Folk,

I would like to know how do I go about converting my south African high school certificate's and insurance certificates in Nigeria.

In south Africa my insurance qualifications carries much weight and i am concerned that it might not mean much in Nigeria.

I would also like to cont my studies at a private university.

Please advise.

Thnx

When u say 'high school' certificate, do u mean in Tertiary terms cos in Nigeria here, we also consider 'high school' to be secondary school. If its in the case of the latter, then u need additional qualification. Try acquiring a professional qualification in S.A before applying for a job in Naija, who knows Nigerian employers will just view u to be an expatriate and they have a good salary scale for expatriates.
In another light, insurance jobs in Nigeria is quite hard o. Cos Nigerians have a very backward knowledge of insurance. So u might end up as a salesperson in an insurance company. Try to discover another talent of yours that u might think will be of great value in the Nigerian market.
If u want to continue ur education in a Nigerian university, I suggest u apply in National Open University of Nigeria. They have very flexible programs.
I perused through your earlier threads and I must congratulate u. I also found my partner on this platform.

You wouldn't be having much trouble with schooling with any private university in Nigeria.just ensure the school you passed through is one of those accepted as internationaly accredited .your country should have accredited it, then Nigeria University Commission would have accredited it too. Get in touch with the university of your choice and get every information you would be needing .

As an international student I don't know whether public universities in Nigeria will accept you without writing jamb (that's if you latter change your mind on your choice cause public schools here are way too cheaper compared to the privates).
If I'm to suggest public schools; go for UNN or UI. As for private; Covenant, Eastern Palm, Babcock...

Good luck!

As long as u re already in a university. Babcock university will take you. Contact them. Covenant doesnt accept international students. But jf you want to start afresh. Do pre degree/jupeb /a levels/ diploma or whatever.
