Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to receive my Statement of Results and my certificate?

What is meant by a Qualification?
A qualification is the evidence that a learner has achieved a certain level of competence. It may take the form of a certificate, a diploma, or a degree.
What is meant by a Unit Standard?
A Unit Standard is the smallest unit that can be credited to a learner. Unit Standards can stand-alone but are generally part of a Qualification. A cluster of Unit Standards, including fundamental learning, core learning and elective learning, form a full Qualification. Unit standards are the building blocks of each qualification. Each one consists of a particular “package” of information or skills. A learner or worker will complete programmes to earn a specified number of unit standards to gain a qualification. Unit standards and details about them, are listed on the SAQA website. The best way to understand unit standards is to find and read ones that are relevant to your field of work or study.
What is meant by credits?
Credits are a measure of the notional hours or learning time that it would take the average learner to meet the prescribed outcomes. This includes contact time, structured learning, workplace learning, assessment and self-study. (10 notional hours = 1 credit.)
