Why SETA Accreditation Matters for Your Performing Arts Training
When you invest in professional development, you want assurance that your qualification is recognised and valued. That is why AATICD delivers SAQA, SETA and QCTO accredited and aligned programmes. SETAs are the Sector Education and Training Authorities — industry-specific quality councils that quality-assure workplace learning and recognise this programme as SETA-aligned training for sector skills development. This means your credential carries weight with employers and regulatory bodies across South Africa.
Performing Arts Courses That Build Real-World Skills
Our performing arts curriculum is designed to equip you with practical, in-demand competencies. For example, the Audience Response Techniques For Performers Training (NQF Level 4, 5 credits) teaches you to read and adapt to live audience reactions. The Professional Dance Forms Performance Training (NQF Level 5, 30 credits) is a comprehensive 27-day programme that hones your technique across multiple dance styles. And the Performance Design Principles For Live Events Training (NQF Level 4, 10 credits) covers staging, lighting, and spatial design. Each course is SAQA, SETA and QCTO accredited and aligned, ensuring your learning meets national standards.
Three Flexible Delivery Modes
We understand that professionals and aspiring artists have different schedules. That is why we offer three ways to study:
- Online – Learn at your own pace from anywhere with internet access.
- On-campus in Pretoria – Benefit from face-to-face instruction and hands-on practice at our training centre.
- In-house – We bring the training to your organisation, customised to your team's needs.
Whichever mode you choose, you will receive the same high-quality, SAQA, SETA and QCTO accredited and aligned content.

Upon completion, depending on the course taken you will receive an NQF-aligned Certificate of Competence that demonstrates your expertise.
