Accredify x BAC Education Group: Replacing Physical Degree Certificates with Verifiable Credentials in 9 Days

Find out how one of Malaysia’s leading educational institutions managed to create and issue digital certificates for their students in 9 days. 

OVERVIEW 
A leading provider of world-class education, the BAC Education Group comprises 5 colleges in Malaysia and Singapore along with 20 other companies and works with more than 25 global partners. 
The BAC Education Group delivers a wide range of internationally recognized degrees, diplomas, and adult learning qualifications. Dedicated to transforming lives through education, the Group strongly believes in the power of giving back. BACFlix.com is one of the Group’s many CSR initiatives to ensure that no student gets left behind.  The single largest free education initiative by the private sector, BACFlix.com currently manages six specialized online learning portals for Malaysian school students and is fully funded by the Group.   

PROBLEM 

The BAC Education Group has always been technology-driven but embraced new digital technologies when faced with the COVID-19 pandemic. The Movement Control Order (implemented in Malaysia as a result of the pandemic) caused the Group to move its convocation ceremonies online to accommodate students and their families.  However, the Group did not have a solution for the distribution of its degree certificates, and mailing hard-copy documents to international students was expensive, manual, and tedious.  The solution had to be implemented quickly in time for IACT College’s upcoming convocation occurring in 2 weeks.  Because of the situation’s urgency, the BAC Education Group sought a cost-effective and hassle-free solution that was user-friendly and could be implemented quickly. 

 SOLUTION 

BAC Education reached out to Accredify and within 9 days, the Group completed its onboarding and training procedures with Accredify as well as designed, endorsed, and issued its degree certificates – all in time for IACT’s e-convocation which became the first e-convocation in Malaysia!
 
Additionally, BAC Education was able to:  

  1. Issue certificates and transcripts to graduates via email during the virtual convocation ceremony in real-time
  1. Allow students to verify their graduation certificates directly on the colleges’ individual websites
  1. Save cost on the printing and delivery of hard-copy documents

*Information regarding BAC Education Group’s cost savings was unable to be obtained, but other clients have reported cost reductions of up to 50%
