A learning/training provider needs to acquire various forms of accreditation to ensure that they are delivering quality & recognised qualifications to the public. Depending on the level and the type of training, (primary, secondary, tertiary), a learning provider needs to acquire accreditation from the relevant quality council, e.g., QCTO, MICT SETA, UMALUSI, DHET, DBE, or a professional body. To deliver training for professional designations a learning provider must seek accreditation from the respective professional body.
