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.

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.
