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.

Why register and choose an education with CAD4ALL?

State-of-the-art facilities, labs, and equipment in safe, secure locations Full-time expert academic staff with advanced degrees 6 Top 10 student architecture finalists in two national design competitions from 2019 to 2023 An 18-year post-secondary academic institution with strong industry connections keeping our curriculum current Co-op internship year and field placements to forge career connections International certifications to expand your skillset for global opportunities Earn credits in select programmes that contribute toward full qualifications Access to a dedicated student advisor to navigate your educational pathway Globally focused and employment-oriented education Flexible learning options (onsite, blended, and online)

The first step is to attend a scheduled CAD4ALL campus tour or Open Day (event dates are listed on our website). If you are undecided about which programme to pursue, our student admissions team will provide a complimentary academic consultation tailored to your career path and explain all admission requirements. You’ll also receive a CAD4ALL prospectus and checklist to explore our national programme offerings. Alternatively, you may complete your application online. The academic year follows an annual cycle and commences in February for full-time students. Applications open in June of the previous year. Seats are limited and fill quickly, early application is strongly advised, as late registrations may affect your chance of securing your first-choice programme. All registration and enrolment processes are subject to strict deadlines.

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.

What are your admission requirements?

CAD4ALL has detailed course-specific admission requirements. Please request a copy by emailing applications@cad4all.co.za , or view more information at: Note: It is highly recommended that all applicants attend a compulsory academic consultation for personalized guidance aligned with their chosen career path.

Do you offer your graduates employment?

Yes. CAD4ALL’s Work Readiness Programme prepares learners for employment through our vast corporate network. This on-campus career service helps learners gain transferable skills, improve their portfolios and CVs, and connect with industry partners. Our graduates are in demand due to the academic excellence and high standards upheld by CAD4ALL over the past 18 years.

How are classes conducted?

CAD4ALL offers flexible learning pathways: full-time, part-time, or blended. Our full-time academic staff—who are industry professionals—deliver structured in-person learning supported by daily timetables and academic planners. For students unable to attend 15–20 hours per week of in-person classes, we provide online or blended options. Students can engage with peers and lecturers in a supportive virtual environment designed to foster connectedness and growth. We are committed to helping every student succeed in reaching their educational goals.
