Qualification recognition is verified, and it takes time
A qualification must be registered on the National Qualifications Framework and awarded by an accredited institution. Departments verify this, and a qualification from an unaccredited provider will not pass verification even where the study was completed and paid for.
Foreign qualifications must be evaluated by the South African Qualifications Authority before they can be considered, and that process takes time. Start it well before applying rather than after an interview invitation.
Professional registration is separate from the qualification: a nursing post requires current SANC registration, an artisan post may require a trade test certificate, and a post in a regulated profession requires the relevant council registration at the time of appointment.
