NVQ certificates have been issued fraudulently..
The Sri Lanka Bureau of Foreign Employment has taken steps to temporarily ban the NS Lanka Training Institute in Mawanella, which forged NVQ certificates required for domestic foreign employment .
The Bureau grants approval to suitable training institutions to conduct foreign employment training through external institutions and for this, the Tertiary Education Commission ( TVC ) Approval should have been obtained. Accordingly, the above institution has been established in the Kandy area and has been certified to conduct the necessary training courses for the position of domestic helper. However, they have violated the relevant conditions and have prepared fake certificates and sold them to individuals.
Meanwhile, they have also started training courses in the Mawanella area since February 5th of this year, but the Mawanella branch has not received the approval of the Tertiary Education Commission ( TVC ). Approval has not been obtained. Information was revealed that the NVQ certificates required for the position of Domestic Housekeeping Assistant are being forged and given to trainees.
Following the revelation of the facts, the Chairman of the Bureau, Mr. Kosala Wickramasinghe, has instructed the Internal Audit Division to immediately conduct an audit on this matter. Accordingly, steps have been taken to temporarily suspend the NS Lanka Training Institute as a result of the investigation conducted. Further investigations related to this are being conducted by the Internal Audit Division of the Bureau.
