SAQA Accreditation: Your Assurance of Quality in People-Centred Development Training
At the Accredited Africa Training Institute for Capacity Development (AATICD), we understand that credible training is the foundation of meaningful social change. 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. When you choose AATICD, you choose training that meets the highest national standards and is recognised across South Africa.
Our people-centred development courses equip you with practical skills to champion human rights, gender equality, and victim empowerment. Whether you are a social worker, community organiser, or policy implementer, these programmes help you drive inclusive change. All courses are delivered in three flexible modes: online for remote learning, on-campus in Pretoria for face-to-face engagement, and in-house at your organisation for team-based capacity building. Upon completion, depending on the course taken you will receive an NQF-aligned Certificate of Competence that demonstrates your expertise.
