The Council conducts four categories of examinations:

1. International Examinations such as the WASSCE, SC/GCE 0/Level and the HSC/GCE A/Level;
2. National Examinations such as the Senior School Certificate, Technical, Business Studies, and Common Entrance Examinations;
3. Examinations conducted in collaboration with other
   examining bodies, such as City and Guilds of London Institute, and the Royal Society of Arts;
4. Examinations conducted on behalf of other examining bodies, such as University of London GCE examination for non-West Africans, Scholastic Aptitude Test and Graduate Record Examinations for Educational Testing Service, Princeton, USA and JAMB Examination in countries outside Nigeria.

In Nigeria, however, WAEC has shed all but one of its examinations; the West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE), which is for both school and private candidates.
WAEC's newly acquired state-of-the-art Microplex solid 90E Continuous Laser Printer for embossing candidates' photographs on certificates. Council hopes to completely eliminate impersonation in it's exams with the embossment of photographs on certificates.
