South African Qualifications Authority (SAQA)

The South African Qualifications Authority (SAQA) is a national organization that oversees the quality and recognition of educational and professional qualifications in South Africa. Its main role is to register and maintain a database of qualifications, ensuring they meet national standards. SAQA also facilitates the recognition of qualifications from other countries and supports lifelong learning. Essentially, it helps ensure that South African qualifications are credible and respected both locally and internationally, providing learners, employers, and education providers with confidence in the value of those qualifications.
