SAQA Accreditation: Your Assurance of Quality in Public Policy Training

When you choose a training provider, the credibility of the qualification matters. At AATICD, all our courses are 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 certificate carries national recognition and demonstrates that your learning meets rigorous quality standards.

Our public policy, politics and democratic citizenship courses are designed for professionals who want to make a real difference in their communities and organisations. Whether you work in government, civil society, or the private sector, understanding human rights, electoral processes and conflict resolution is essential for effective leadership and governance.
