The Fiji National Provident Fund (FNPF) is committed to ensuring that its educational programs provide members with recognized and accredited qualifications. Farnaz Queet, Senior Manager of Member Services, emphasizes that the goal of these programs extends beyond merely issuing participation certificates; they are designed to empower members with credible and meaningful credentials.
To achieve this, FNPF collaborates closely with the Fiji Higher Education Commission, particularly in instances where courses are offered through foreign institutions. This partnership is crucial as it ensures that all accredited courses align with the national education qualification framework, which consists of levels 1 to 10.
Queet highlights the importance of these rigorous checks, explaining that they are in place to safeguard members’ savings while ensuring their investments in education yield valuable returns. “The courses you undertake are meant to provide an actual return on your educational investment,” she noted, stressing that maintaining these standards is vital for the security of members’ educational investments.
FNPF’s dedication to delivering quality education not only enhances the skills of its members but also contributes positively to the broader community by fostering a more skilled workforce.
