Why SAQA Accreditation Matters for Your Wholesale and Retail Career
When you choose training from the Accredited Africa Training Institute for Capacity Development (AATICD), you are choosing courses that 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 every unit standard you complete carries official NQF credits that are recognised across South Africa, giving your qualification real weight in the job market.

Whether you are new to the sector or looking to upskill, AATICD offers flexible learning options: you can study online, attend classes on-campus in Pretoria, or request in-house training at your workplace.
