Section A: Evaluation of Foreign Qualifications

Valued Applicant: Pages 1 and 4 provide guidelines for completion of pages 2 and 3

1 SAQA derives its mandate to evaluate foreign qualifications from section 13 (1)

(m)of the National Qualifications Framework (NQF) Act 67 of 2008.

2Evaluation is the process followed by SAQA to:

∙Verify foreign qualifications (authenticating the status of institutions and the qualifications offered by them; and investigating the authenticity of qualification documents and confirming that awards were made to individuals); and

∙Compare foreign qualifications with South African qualifications, considering the structure and outcomes of the foreign qualifications, to locate them within the South African NQF.

3.Evaluation leads to one of two decisions:

Decision A: A qualification is recognised and a secure Certificate of Evaluation is issued to indicate how it is located within the South African NQF.

Decision B: A qualification is not recognised, due to one or more of the following reasons:

∙The issuing body is not accredited or recognised in the national system of a particular country in accordance with the national policies, or generally accepted practice of that country.

∙The issuing body is recognised or accredited, but not authorised to offer that particular qualification / the qualification is not a part of the national system of qualifications.

∙The qualification is not authentic and was not awarded to the individual in question.

4.The full evaluation fee is charged, regardless of whether:

∙Decision A is reached, where all the steps under (2) are concluded and a Certificate of Evaluation is issued; or

∙Decision B is reached after conclusion of only the verification steps which does not result in the issuing of a Certificate of Evaluation.

5.Applicants have a right to appeal against both decisions made by SAQA. The relevant appeal policy and form are accessible on the SAQA website (www.saqa.org.za). Hard or electronic copies can also be made available on request.

A foreign qualification is issued by a nationally recognised institution and forms part of the national education and training system of a foreign country.

Section B: Lodging and processing applications

6Every application MUST include the following:

∙An application form, fully completed and legible

∙A complete set of qualification documents (See Page 4: Section E)

∙Identity Document / Passport / Birth certificate (certified copy)

∙Qualification documents that meet the documentary requirements.

∙An indication of the services / products required and of the required way of receiving results

∙Proof of payment for all those services / products (See Page 3: VI)

∙A declaration signed by the applicant (See Page 3: IX)

SAQA commits to making results available on the first working day after the relevant processing period. Applicants will be informed of any delays.

SAQA does not accept responsibility for delays caused by

∙responses awaited from foreign information sources, when additional information is crucial to the evaluation process; and

∙factors outside its control, including, but not limited to, prolonged power failures or industrial action.

A foreign qualification is not:

Do not submit for evaluation!

 

∙Professional membership or a professional designation

∙A certificate based on a short course, in-service training, a workshop or seminar, or experiential learning which does not form part of the requirements to obtain a qualification.

∙Any other learning acquired outside of a national system

∙South African qualifications

Section C: Declaration (Section IX in the application form)

8 The declaration indicates that you:

∙Understand:

°the English language, or have access to an interpreter; and

°what the evaluation is about (Page 1: Section A) and that for admission to study, professional licensing and employment the specific internal criteria and requirements of other bodies must be met.

∙Declare that:

°You complied with all the requirements on Page 4 (Section E) and included the necessary qualification documents and proof of payment.

°You provided true and correct information in all instances.

°Qualifications are authentic, if they are your own, or that you have no reason to

∙Authorise SAQA to:

°Make the details of the evaluation known, should verification of a Certificate of Evaluation be requested from SAQA.

∙Accept that:

°Although SAQA adheres to stipulated processing times, factors outside of its control may delay processing (Page 1: Section B).

°SAQA will not refund you if you cancel the application after registration, or if the evaluation outcome is a decision not to recognise the submitted qualifications.
