The Omniversity International Council for Academic and Practice Qualifications and Assessments (OICAP-QA) is a globally focused certifying, accrediting, and standard-setting authority dedicated to the recognition, validation, and formalization of real-world learning. We champion the value of experiential knowledge, workplace skills, and informal learning through innovative and inclusive assessment systems built on next-generation technologies.
Grounded in global relevance and operational excellence, OICAP-QA bridges the often-overlooked gap between lived experiences and formal qualifications. Our work is rooted in cutting-edge technologies, including Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning, and Blockchain, creating scalable, credible, and secure platforms that redefine how skills and competencies are recognized and rewarded worldwide.
