Any organisation offering non-university education or training in Botswana must be registered and quality-assured by the Botswana Qualifications Authority (BQA). We prepare a complete, internationally benchmarked accreditation pack so your institution passes BQA review first time.

What’s included

• Institutional profile and legal-status dossier
• ISO 21001-aligned quality management manual
• Programme specifications mapped to NQF level descriptors and Bloom’s taxonomy
• Staff competency matrix and CV library
• Learner protection, refund and grievance policy
• Financial-viability statement and risk register
• Self-evaluation report and evidence index

Who it’s for

• Private colleges and TVET providers
• Corporate academies and in-house training units
• Online/distance-learning providers entering Botswana
• Professional bodies accrediting CPD programmes

Why The Secretary

• Former BQA evaluators and TVET quality-assurance specialists on the team
• Programme architects who have built curricula recognised by SAQA and UNESCO-IBE benchmarks
• Plain-language quality manuals staff can actually follow
• Post-accreditation support included for the first external review cycle

2. Policy drafting and programme-specification build (10-15 working days)
3. Staff capability mapping and evidence collation
