LearnerThe South African Qualifications Authority (SAQA), through ensuring the development and implementation of the National Qualifications Framework (NQF), is working to ensure that all learners have access to quality assured learning that will open up work opportunities irrespective of their race, gender, or religion. As a learner you will benefit from quality education and training provision that leads to qualifications based on nationally agreed world class standards that enjoy national recognition. SAQA, through the NQF, is working with education and training providers to ensure the development of new qualifications and standards relevant to a changing world. SAQA accredits Education and Training Quality Assurance (ETQAs) bodies (which includes SETAs and other professional bodies) to ensure that the education and training which learners receive is of the highest quality. These ETQAs in turn accredit providers to offer education and training in accordance with the standards and qualifications registered on the NQF. As a learner planning your education and training make sure that the programmes and institutions you select meet SAQA requirements. This means that the institution(s) you select must be registered by the Department of Education and accredited by the appropriate ETQAs. Information on public higher education institutions can be found on the Higher Education South Africa (HESA) website. Queries regarding private higher education institutions can be e-mailed to registrarphei@goe.gov.za and those regarding further education institutions can be e-mailed to registrarFET@doe.gov.za Alternatively visit the Department’s Website at http://education.gov.za The SAQA Website also provides an up-to-date list of registered Private Higher Education Institutions. Recent developments in education and training have introduced learnership programmes. Learnerships are new paraprofessional and vocational education and training programmes. They combine theory and practice and culminate in a qualification that is registered on the NQF. A learner who successfully completes a learnership will have a qualification that signals occupational competence and which is recognized throughout the country. More…. As a learner you may have gained a vast amount of knowledge over the years but for which you may not have received formal recognition. By means of Recognition of Prior Learning you may achieve credits for the learning you have acquired through informal means. What are NQF Level Descriptors?
