Welcome to the Programme Accreditation Directorate

The Programme Accreditation Directorate is responsible for the accreditation of public and private higher education institutions' learning programmes leading to qualifications registered on the National Qualifications Framework (NQF).

The Directorate carries out its work by developing and operating a system through which institutions submit programmes for accreditation. As well as new programmes, these include programmes to which significant changes have been made.

The Directorate is supported in its work by an Accreditation Committee.
