2. Transcript
3. Cover letter from the issuing educational body confirming ALL of the following six points:
   1. The qualification / genuineness of the certificate,
   2. The mode and type of study: whether full time/part-time or distance learning (E-learning)/ proximate learning (face to face learning),
   3. The place of study and the place where the examination was held,
   4. The awarded title of the issued diploma, i.e. Degree (BA or Bsc), Masters or Doctorate program,
   5. The length of the course,
   6. The actual dates of study (start date and the end date).

 

Please note that items 1, 2 & 3 above must be attested by the UK FCO.

 

In addition, any certificate obtained via distance learning or an online program will NOT be accepted for attesting as this is not in accordance with the rules of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Doha.
