The NQF Advisory Committee of the Education and Training Quality Authority recommended the listing of one vocational institution, placement of (35) national qualifications and alignment of (12) foreign qualifications on the NQF as they meet the requirements and standards for institutional listing, qualification placement and alignment of foreign qualifications, as well as the re-validation of (8) national qualifications offered by two higher education institutions.
