Why SAQA Accreditation Matters for Your Forestry Training
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. When you choose AATICD, you choose training that is SAQA, SETA and QCTO accredited and aligned, ensuring your qualification is nationally recognised and portable across industries.

Our Agriculture and Nature Conservation portfolio includes specialised courses in Forestry and Wood Technology. For example, the Lumber Grading Process Details In Sawmill Operations Training (Unit Standard ID: 110467, NQF Level 2, 20 credits, 17 days) teaches you to assess lumber quality against industry standards. The Saw Doctor Shop Equipment Processes And Procedures In Lumber Mills Training (Unit Standard ID: 117605, NQF Level 1, 15 credits, 12 days) covers maintenance of sawmill tooling. Both are SAQA, SETA and QCTO accredited and aligned, giving you confidence in your credential.
