Accreditation

What is accredited, who certifies it, and where CLA's own accreditation stands.

Our accreditation partner

While Continental Learning Academy completes its own QCTO accreditation and DHET registration, our accredited programmes are offered in partnership with Hatfield Corner College, accredited by the QCTO (SDP1220/19/00150) and registered with the DHET (0899993847). Learners on these programmes are registered and certificated through Hatfield Corner College.

CLA's own accreditation

Continental Learning Academy is applying for its own accreditation with the Quality Council for Trades and Occupations (QCTO) and registration with the Department of Higher Education and Training (DHET). Until these are granted, accredited programmes run in partnership with Hatfield Corner College, and we only offer as accredited what falls within its scope.

ICB and the FASSET NQF pathway

ICB learners who enrol on the NQF pathway before 30 June 2027 can also receive a FASSET NQF qualification certificate, provided they complete by 30 June 2030.
