Know Why Teacher Trainees Pay Both Examination and Certificate Fees
JUSMAnewshub - 18th August,2025

Many teacher trainees often wonder why they pay examination fees from Level 100 to Level 400 and are still asked to pay separately for their certificate after graduation. The truth is that examination fees and certificate fees serve different purposes.
Examination fees cover the cost of conducting and managing exams such as printing question papers, paying examiners, marking scripts, and compiling results.The certificate fee, on the other hand, is charged only after completion and is meant to cover the design, printing, and security features of the certificate, as well as the administrative work involved in preparing it.

Schools separate these payments because not every student completes the programme, so the certificate cost is reserved for those who graduate. It may seem unfair at first glance, but it is actually the standard practice in most institutions. In short, don’t be confused, your certificate fee is not a duplication of the exam fees, but a separate cost for the final proof of your achievement. Note: According to my search on this, this is not done only in Ghana but in many institution in the world.
