SAQA Accreditation: Your Gateway to Recognised Personal Care Qualifications

When you choose a training provider for personal care skills, accreditation matters. The South African Qualifications Authority (SAQA) is the body that registers unit standards on the National Qualifications Framework (NQF) and recognises this course as a credit-bearing programme. At AATICD, every course is SAQA, SETA and QCTO accredited and aligned, ensuring that your qualification meets the highest national standards. Whether you are looking to master hair extensions, sugaring hair removal, or professional workplace deportment, you can trust that your learning is recognised across South Africa.

Why SAQA Accreditation Matters for Your Career

SAQA oversees the NQF, which categorises qualifications by level and credits. For example, our Hair Extensions Application And Styling Techniques Training carries 6 credits at NQF Level 2, while Sugaring Hair Removal Techniques And Preparation Training is worth 2 credits at NQF Level 3. These credits accumulate towards further learning and demonstrate your competence to employers. Because AATICD courses are SAQA, SETA and QCTO accredited and aligned, you gain a credential that is portable and respected across industries.
