SAQA requires the qualification holder (QH) to lodge an online application for the evaluation of a foreign qualifications and this cannot be done through a third party.

The above is to ensure that QHs are the prima facie owners of their applications and the outcome thereof, including the protection of their private details and improved communication between the applicant and SAQA. Please note that the status of your application will be communicated through this platform as well as through e-mail message to your primary e-mail address on your application.

This therefore requires that QHs must apply using their own, unique contact details.

Please note the fee structure that applies to the evaluation of foreign qualifications.
