ITA has worked closely with the Ministry of Higher Education (MoHE) and provided its consultancy in the development of the security architecture and shared best practices in order to align the initiative with the overall Digital Oman strategy.

MoHE has built the Higher Education Admission Centre (HEAC) System to unify the admission process in all higher education institutions. From 1st of April 2006, the system is accessible online and students who have completed their General Certificate Examination can apply for higher education through this system. Application from potential candidates can be submitted online through the website www.heac.gov.om. The HEAC system can gather the students’ details based on their General Certificate Examination registration number. The applicants will then be allocated to the appropriate program in each institution according to their program of choice and their grades.

The system will direct these applicants to appropriate higher education institutions such as the Sultan Qaboos University, Higher Colleges of Technology and various other private colleges, institutes and training organizations in a seamless manner.
