If your previous qualification was obtained from a South African institution accredited by the South African Qualifications Authority (SAQA) and recognised on the National Qualifications Framework (NQF), you do not need to submit your qualifications for SAQA verification when applying for postgraduate studies at The Da Vinci Institute.

However, if your qualification is international, or if there is any uncertainty regarding its NQF level, SAQA verification may be required before your postgraduate application can be considered.
