The National Qualifications Register is the official national public record of all qualifications aligned to National Skills Qualifications Framework (NSQF) levels, qualification pathways and accrediting authorities. It gives learners and other users of qualifications access to all the qualifications registered and currently on offer.
It is an initiative of the National Skill Development Agency, Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship.
the National Skills Qualifications Framework (NSQF) is a quality assurance framework which organizes qualifications according to a series of levels of knowledge, skills and aptitude. These levels are defined in terms of learning outcomes which the learner must possess regardless of whether they were acquired through formal, non-formal or informal learning.
This will enable a person to acquire desired competency levels, transit to the job market and, at an opportune time, return for acquiring additional skills to further upgrade their competencies.
