training . (SAQA act 1995)

What is the difference between a government accredited course and a non- accredited course? An accredited course means the course has been evaluated and found to meet strict government and industry standards. A student may also gain credit for their studies should he/she wish to go on to further training in a similar subject with a higher education provider.

An unaccredited course does not lead to a formal national academic qualification and is not nationally recognized, however it is recognized by many institutions and church bodies in South Africa and abroad.

According to the South African constitution, freedom of religion is granted to all religious institutions and therefore Government will not interfere in the activities of the institution and the way involvement is expressed in either gatherings or religious education. Even religiously orientated training material are not obliged to carry official accreditation. TCN/KBN is such a religious non-profitable institution and our training is exclusively orientated and rooted in the Christian faith.
