Do you train SAQA qualifications?

Yes. SAQA registers qualifications on the National Qualifications Framework (NQF) upon recommendation of the QCTO. CAD4ALL institute of Applied Architectures’ academic program offerings are aligned with the South African Qualifications Authority (SAQA).

Yes. All South African training service providers must be accredited to offer registered SAQA qualifications. CAD4ALL is accredited by the Quality Council for Trades and Occupations (QCTO). In 2011, we received our first accreditation from the Construction Education and Training Authority (CETA), as it was the only CAD & Architectural Technology qualifications registered with SAQA at the time. As qualifications have since started migrating to the QCTO, we are continuously evolving to stay abreast of these changes.

Where are your campuses?

Our Head Office and main campus is situated in the upmarket northern suburbs of Tygervalley Central, Cape Town. Certain CAD4ALL programmes are also offered in a convenient online format, enabling accessibility from anywhere in Africa. Due to our growing online clientele in Gauteng and surrounding areas, our vision is to expand our physical footprint to Gauteng in the next academic year.

Are you validated by SACAP?

No, CAD4ALL is not currently validated by SACAP. However, we have been engaging with SACAP over the last three years to ensure our students have a clear pathway to register. As of late 2022, past and present CAD4ALL students can register under the “Apprentice” category designation. Due to ongoing changes in the educational landscape, students must still complete their practical workplace learning period outlined by SACAP after qualifying at CAD4ALL before applying for SACAP candidacy.
