The National eLearning Center urges all institutions wishing to provide eLearning programs to apply to obtain the necessary licenses. Unlicensed institutions will not be allowed to provide eLearning programs after the end of the mandatory plan for licensing institutions and programs, which ended on Thursday 10/3/2022.
The mandatory plan with a deadline for the institutions to obtain licenses was announced earlier. Upon the end of this plan, the institutions providing eLearning programs will be obligated to obtain licenses that will enable them to continue their activity.
The Center commended the efforts made by institutions to comply with the standards of the Center as 191 government and private institutions were able to obtain institution license, while 271 licenses were issued for programs.
The Center stated that in accordance with Article (10) of the licensing regulations for providing eLearning programs approved by the Center’s Board of Directors Decision No. (1/5/41) dated 12/12/1441 AH, unlicensed institutions will not be allowed to provide eLearning programs. The Center will take the necessary legal actions against the violating institutions, in accordance with its mandate.
Licensing applications for institutions wishing to provide eLearning programs can be submitted through the Center’s website nelc.gov.sa.
