6. I have a foreign qualification, what should I do to apply for registration?
All foreign qualifications that will be assessed as part of an application must be accompanied by a South African Qualification Authority (SAQA) certificate. Applicants with any foreign qualification are also liable to pay the Qualification Assessment fee for assessment by the Qualification Assessment Committee. No exemption is granted for any qualification obtained outside South Africa.
SACNASP FAQs November 2012

7. Can you please clarify what SAQA is? I am not South African and not familiar with it.
SAQA, or the South African Qualifications Authority, is an advisory / regulatory institution who evaluates foreign qualifications to assist decision-makers like SACNASP in interpreting these when foreign qualification holders are considered for, inter alia, application for professional registration.

8. What field of practice do I qualify for?
The identified fields of practice appear in Schedule 1 of the Act. Confirm the information in the work experience guideline documents for each field of practice to align your field of practice with your qualifications and current work functions.

9. How long does the registration process take?
The registration process is very rigorous and is estimated to take 3-6 months. The first is the receipt and compliance check by the Registration office. Thereafter a compliant application is submitted to the QAC if a foreign qualification is part of the application package. After the QAC, recommendations/applications are submitted to the respective Professional Advisory Committee (specific for each field of practice) to assess an application and make a recommendation to the Registration Committee, who makes the final decision in the registration process.

10. Can I have one invoice for all my employees?
SACANSP only invoices individuals and not companies.

11. When is my annual fee due?
The annual fee is due in April of each year.

12. When should my annual fee be settled?
Settlement of the annual fee should be within 60 days of date of invoice.

13. What methods can I use in settling my fees?
Electronic funds transfer (EFT), over the counter cash and cheques deposits at Nedbank. No cash, debit or credit card payments are accepted in lieu of payment by the SACNASP office.
