Confirm Higher Educational Institutions

Students, parents and learners to be extra careful and guard against being conned by bogus institutions when registering through Higher Education Institutions.

For years‚ many students, parents and learners have found themselves paying hefty amounts of money to non-existing schools..

Students, parents and learners need to make sure that schools where they register their children are fully registered with the South African Qualifications Authority and the Department of Higher Education and Training (DHET).

To do this‚ students are advised to check the registration certificate of that institution.

This certificate‚ issued by the DHET‚ must be able to clearly show all the programmes each institution is accredited to offer.

If there is a programme that is not included in that certificate but which the institution promises to offer‚ students must know that they are being conned.

A list of all the names of institutions that are fully registered and operating legally is available at on the links below:
