NQF vs IQB Pathways
What are the two different certification pathways?
- Students who register from 1 July 2026 onward will follow the IQB pathway, which is internationally recognised but not aligned to the South African NQF framework.
- Students who register before 30 June 2026 will remain on the NQF pathway and must complete their qualifications by 30 June 2029 as planned.
