Foreign secondary-certificate equivalency in Jordan: use the right service
If you hold a non-Jordanian secondary-school certificate and need it equated in Jordan, do not start from a shared conversion table or from university-degree equivalency instructions. This is a separate service handled through the Ministry of Education and its examinations administration.
Current secondary-certificate equivalency service
The Jordan Ministry of Education lists a secondary-school certificate equivalency service, and the current equivalency system is available at certs.moe.gov.jo/equatedcerts.
Use the current service and Ministry instructions for your exact certificate type, such as IB or another foreign programme. Do not assume another programme's rules apply to yours.
Do not mix two different equivalency systems
There is an important distinction:
- Foreign secondary-school certificate equivalency: Ministry of Education.
- Non-Jordanian university-degree equivalency: Ministry of Higher Education / Recognition and Certificate Equivalency Directorate.
This guide is about secondary school only. If your question is about a bachelor's, master's, or doctorate, you need the higher-education route instead.
Before applying
- Identify the certificate, programme, country, and graduation year precisely.
- Open the official secondary equivalency system and read the instructions for your certificate type.
- Prepare the documents and attestations required for your own case; do not copy another student's checklist blindly.
- If your file is unusual, ask the responsible equivalency office before making a university-admission decision based on an unconfirmed converted average.
Verifying an issued equivalency certificate
The Ministry also provides electronic verification pages for issued equivalency certificates. Use the official verification service when needed rather than relying on an unverified image of the document.
What about university admission?
Equivalency establishes how the secondary certificate is treated in Jordan; it does not guarantee admission to a particular major. After equivalency, check the current admission cycle with the Unified Admission Coordination Unit or the relevant university.
What TawjihiAI cannot do
We can help you organize documents, questions, and next steps, but TawjihiAI does not issue the equivalency, decide the official average, or approve your file. The responsible government authority does.
In short
- Use the Ministry of Education's secondary-certificate equivalency service.
- Do not confuse it with university-degree equivalency at the Ministry of Higher Education.
- Do not rely on a shared conversion table or another student's case.
- Keep the equivalency decision separate from the university-admission decision.
