WE'RE EXCITED
Why This Matters: Association memberships offer networking value, but they are not fully SAQA-aligned National qualifications. When employers require compliance documentation, when government checks permits, when you apply for positions requiring formal credentials— NEMBA, EDTP, CATHSSETA and QCTO accreditation is what counts.

What Our Graduates Say

“I chose LWEC specifically for their CATHSSETA accreditation. When I applied for a field guide position, the employer verified my qualifications directly with CATHSSETA. Other programs I looked at couldn’t offer that.”

Sibusiso M., Field Guide, 2024

“After 15 years in the field without formal credentials, LWEC’s RPL pathway recognized my experience and delivered a national qualification. Now I have the paperwork to match my expertise.”

Maria T., Professional Hunter, 2023

“Learning from Africa’s only female PH Director brought a perspective I wouldn’t get elsewhere. Rigorous standards, conservation-first approach, no shortcuts.”

Thandi N., Eco-Tourism Specialist, 2024
