1. The Declaration of Vlaue (Dichiarazione di Valore) confirms the value of the qualifications obtained in Armenia, with reference to the local educational system. It will be up to the relevant Italian institutions (Ministry of Education, Uffici Scolastici Provinciali, Universities, etc.) to subsequently declare if a foreign qualification has a similar Italian equivalent: this is called “equipollenza” (obtained in Italy).
2. The Embassy of Italy in Yerevan may issue “Dichiarazioni di Valore” (declarations of value) of Armenian qualifications issued by recognised educational institutions (schools, colleges and universities) or professional bodies located in the Armenia.
3. Candidates should present the enrolment request directly to the chosen higher education institution, according to the modality, terms and the requested documentation as established by each institution. Students are obliged to produce the documentation that the institution deems necessary with a view to evaluating the foreign qualification, with reference to: eventual translations, legalisations, Diploma Supplements, exam certificates, ENIC-NARIC centre statements, Dichiarazioni di valore or other declarations that might serve to check the elements of the foreign qualification.
