What is the difference between a QCTO qualification and a SETA qualification?

QCTO (Quality Council for Trades and Occupations) sets and oversees national occupational qualification standards, while SETAs (Sector Education and Training Authorities) fund and manage industry-specific training programmes. iFundi's qualifications are QCTO-accredited, meaning they meet the highest national standards and are recognised by employers across South Africa.

Do I need Matric to study at iFundi?

Entry requirements vary by programme. Many of iFundi's learnerships and NQF Level 2–3 qualifications are accessible without a Matric certificate. Higher-level programmes such as professional certificates and degrees typically require Grade 12. Contact us and we will help match you to a programme you qualify for.

What NQF level qualifications does iFundi offer?

iFundi offers qualifications from NQF Level 3 through to NQF Level 6 across IT & Digital, Management, Financial Services, and Supply Chain. These range from entry-level certificates to advanced diplomas, all accredited by QCTO and relevant SETAs.

What is a learnership and how does it work in South Africa?

A learnership is a structured training programme that combines classroom learning with practical workplace experience. It is registered with a SETA and leads to a nationally recognised NQF qualification. Learners receive a monthly stipend while studying, making it possible to earn and learn at the same time. iFundi offers SETA-accredited learnerships across IT, management, finance, and logistics.

Can I study online while working full time?

Yes. iFundi offers flexible online facilitated classes designed for working professionals. Evening and weekend sessions are available, and AI-powered personalised study support helps you learn at your own pace without falling behind.
