Professional bodies
A professional body is any body of expert practitioners in an occupational field, and includes an occupational body – that is a body constituted to represent and/or regulate a recognised community of expert practitioners. The National Qualifications Framework (NQF) Act No 67 of 2008 requires SAQA to register professional bodies and professional designations on the NQF. A policy and criteria for recognising professional bodies and registering professional designations has been approved for submission to the Minister of Higher Education and Training, for consultation with the three Quality Councils (QCs) and for use in the pilot phase.
