NAVTTC Issues Advisory Against Unaccredited TVET Certifications to Protect Stakeholders:
The National Vocational and Technical Training Commission (NAVTTC), established through Act No. XV of 2011, serves as Pakistan’s premier regulatory authority for technical and vocational education and training (TVET). NAVTTC’s mandate is to enhance the quality and credibility of technical education, ensuring that it aligns with national and international standards. Despite its diligent efforts to uplift the TVET sector, the prevalence of unauthorized organizations issuing fraudulent diplomas and certificates has emerged as a significant challenge. This notification, issued on September 24, 2020, seeks to alert parents, employers, and trainees to the existence of such entities and the risks associated with their unauthorized certifications. By naming these organizations, NAVTTC emphasizes the importance of vigilance among stakeholders and underscores its commitment to safeguarding the integrity of technical and vocational training in Pakistan.
