How to find Learnership Providers SAQA Accreditation Number
Accreditation is a signal of trust, therefore most accredited providers share their accreditation details on their marketing materials and websites. Names of accredited providers are loaded onto qualifications by SAQA and then this information is accessible to the public. However, SAQA is notoriously years behind on uploading current data, so just because the name of your provider isn’t there, it doesn’t mean they are not accredited.
Where can I find a list of providers that offer qualifications and skills programmes?
According to SAQA, Training providers must register with the Department of Higher Education and Training. These training providers also hold accreditation from the Quality Council (QC) to offer registered qualifications and skills programmes.
The three QCs are the:
- Council for Quality Assurance in General and Further Education and Training (Umalusi) for general and further education and training qualifications
- Quality Council for Trades and Occupations (QCTO) for work-based qualifications
- Council on Higher Education (CHE) for higher education qualifications
Contact the relevant QC on the contact details provided below
- Umalusi: 012 349 1510 or www.umalusi.org.za
- QCTO: 012 003 1800 or www.qcto.org.za
- CHE: 012 349 3840 or www.che.ac.za
