Read the qualification instructions first
The illustrated application explains that declaring a qualification is not mandatory unless C2 points are needed to pass COMPASS or the selected shortage occupation requires it. If declaring, follow EP verification rules; certificates and school letters alone are not acceptable proof. Where an awarding institution is not in the accredited dropdown, proof must establish both authenticity and local-government recognition.
Enter institution, level and faculty
Use the institution’s latest name where relevant and select it when it appears. If it cannot be found, the guide permits choosing not to declare, subject to the points/occupation requirements above. Enter the qualification level shown on the certificate or proof; if faculty is absent there, use the transcript. The awarding institution and country/region should match the actual qualification.
Choose the portal/professional-body method
Select the government/awarding-institution portal or professional-body option. Save the required verification screenshots and upload them; the illustrated form accepts JPEG, PNG or PDF up to 2MB in total. The title covers professional bodies, while the worked screenshots specifically demonstrate government and university portals.
CSSD government-portal example
Only the official English CSSD online verification report is accepted. Display the full page and include full name, birth date, graduation date and student number if applicable. The illustrated report is a higher-education degree-certificate verification, not merely a self-translated certificate.
NTU awarding-institution example
Upload both the query page and successful verification page. Both must visibly show the portal web address. The first must show all entered information, such as name and birth date. The second must show the final result proving the candidate received the qualification. A result alone that hides the query inputs does not reproduce the guide’s complete evidence set.
