SAQA Accreditation: Your Gateway to Recognised Healthcare Qualifications

At AATICD (Accredited Africa Training Institute for Capacity Development), we understand that the credibility of your qualification is paramount. That is why every course we offer is SAQA, SETA and QCTO accredited and aligned. SAQA is the South African Qualifications Authority — the body that registers unit standards on the National Qualifications Framework (NQF) and recognises this course as a credit-bearing programme. This means your learning earns you formal credits that are nationally recognised and portable across the education and training system.

Whether you are a healthcare professional looking to upskill or a newcomer entering the field, our health sciences and social services courses provide the theoretical knowledge and practical competence you need. With three flexible delivery modes — online, on-campus in Pretoria, or in-house at your organisation — you can study in a way that fits your life and work.

Why SAQA Accreditation Matters for Your Career

SAQA accreditation ensures that your qualification is registered on the NQF, giving it national recognition. Employers, regulatory bodies, and further education institutions accept SAQA-aligned credentials with confidence. When you complete a course with AATICD, you receive an NQF-aligned Certificate of Competence that demonstrates your expertise. This certificate is a powerful tool for career advancement, whether you are seeking promotion, specialisation, or entry into a new field.
