So what is Accreditation?
Accreditation is a set of standards that is determined by a governing body, and colleges have to meet certain standards and requirements in order to be accredited. There are hundreds of different colleges in South Africa, and if each college set its own standards there would be no way to ensure that the qualifications issued by different colleges are the same. There are different organisations and departments who certify accreditation in South Africa.
Many SAQA recognised professional bodies, for example SABPP (South African Board for People Practices), ICB (Institute of Certified Book-keepers and PMSA (Project Management SA) have created a standard and criteria for courses in order to ensure that a professional standard is upheld in their industry. In this way Academy of York, offers courses that are certified and accredited by specific industry leaders, like SABPP, ICB, PMSA, CompTIA and ICDL.
Last but not least, is the South African Qualifications Authority (SAQA). SAQA grade qualifications according to the National Qualifications Framework (NQF). The NQF is like a bridge in learning because you can earn NQF aligned credits for different courses. The higher the NQF level of a course, the more advanced it is and the higher the qualification is rated.
