Yes. The ASISA Academy is accredited with the Quality Council for Trades and Occupations (QCTO) which is the SA government authority that oversees all occupational qualifications from design, to delivery, to assessment and finally certification. This means the Academy may offer full qualifications registered by the South African Qualifications Authority (SAQA). A full qualification is a learning programme that is weighted at a minimum of 120 credits and pegged at a specific level on the National Qualifications Framework (NQF).

The Academy is also an approved CPD learning provider for Batseta Council of Retirement Funds for South Africa, the Insurance Institute of South Africa (IISA) and the Financial Planning Institute (FPI). This means delegates who participate in our Retirement Fund Trustee Education workshops, the UCT Life Insurance Claims Assessors Short Course and certain Blitzcamps can earn CPD points.
