The Edu.Dex data validation utility is a custom designed application that ensures that data transmitted within the Education and Training sector of South Africa conforms to the education and training exchange (Edu.Dex standard) standard.

The primary objective for the development of the Edu.Dex standard is to ensure that any learner registration related data that is transmitted from one information system to another system in batch format complies to the South African Qualifications Authority (SAQA) National Learner's Records Database (NLRD) Load Specifications.
