Overview
Registered occupational and legacy qualifications relevant to the safety and security sector. This Edupstairs guide explains how the Qualification Catalogue pathway fits into SASSETA, what prospective applicants should look for and which catalogue records are currently linked to this pathway.
Who this is for
Learners, students, employers and career planners comparing registered qualifications linked to the sector.
Typical eligibility and entry requirements
Each qualification has its own formal entry requirements and NQF level. Always verify the current registration and provider requirements.
The duration is not universal. It depends on the specific qualification catalogue programme, qualification or funded project.
This catalogue is a discovery tool; funding is separate and depends on current SETA or employer opportunities.
Workplace learning depends on the qualification design. Occupational qualifications may contain structured practical or workplace components.

Applications are normally made when SASSETA, an employer, accredited provider or partner opens a funded opportunity. Read the official advert carefully, confirm the closing date and submit only through the stated application channel.
