A precondition for issuing the diploma is a positive decision made by EQE on the recognition of education received at an institution that has been liquidated or whose educational activities have been terminated, or by refugees – IDPs from the occupied territories of Georgia. A relevant educational document (a certificate or diploma duplicate) is issued by the LEPL – Education Management Information System (#1a Guram Panjikidze Street, Tbilisi, Georgia), on the basis of recognition of vocational education or secondary vocational education received through 2010.
Documents to be submitted for issuing a diploma are as follows:
